Helpful suggestions on how I find out what things are:
The photo app on iphones can sometimes ID plants and animals.
The Google app also can attempt to ID things, including that weird black plastic part one finds in the junk drawer.
There’s an app called Seek that attempts to ID plants and animals.
I always try to verify what any of them say. Sometimes one will give different IDs of the same thing.
If you send me a screenshot of what’s on your video, I’ll see what I come up with.
I also have field guides for North American caterpillars that I’ll consult unless someone has already given you an answer.
