I think (with help from iNaturalist) that this is a Knot Grass Moth caterpillar.
I was happy to see it eating the lady’s mantle, as it’s the first time I’ve really noticed *anything* eating lady’s mantle and always thought it was a bit ecologically useless.
Might be it is great for lots of things, and I’ve never noticed…

If you ever want a plant to display raindrops, this will be a good one to consider!

This is Lady’s Mantle. Apparently it is so named because its leaves were thought to resemble the Virgin Mary’s cloak.
