Need Help Identifying Worm Please- Photos Incl.

[myron26155]

I found this worm chewing on one of my Goliath Hybrids. I've since sprayed with neem oil and haven't seen any more damage but I would still like to know what it is.

Any ideas?

Here is a photo of it without magnification.

Wish I could help, but I haven't the slightest idea. I too have found a few of these guys around my garden. One in the wildflower bed and another on a marigold this afternoon. The lil thing had eaten so much of that marigold so I just popped off the flower and tossed it.

If so, it's the larva of the [url=https://i1.treknature.com/photos/6718/pieris_brassicae.jpg]cabbage moth[/url], which is really a butterfly.
