What kind of caterpillar is this? (Crappy pics included)

[AmandaS]

I have this on my sunflowers...just wondering if I can pick them and throw them into some kale or dandelions and feed off. Of course any bug I see im like, can i feed them?
Side note, know what the black and yellow things are? Also all over my sunflowers.

I think the black and yellow ones are lady bug larvae! Definitely don't feed those to chams.

I think the green guy might be a cabbage worm?

Cabbage worm and looks like ladybug larvae

Green dude looks like an inchworm

Sooo...I can feed off the caterpillar after I feed it properly? And I wasn't going to feed off the others, just wanted to know what they were, and that makes sense cause...........

Green caterpillar is a spanworm of some type, more commonly known as an inchworm, should be safe once fed properly. The other things are definitely ladybug larvae.

Spanworms or inchworms look like this in a multitude of colors depending on the specific species:

@The Wild One, I don't have a dog, just 3 cats, 2 ferrets, 2 reptiles, 2 guinea pigs and 2 silkie chickens that are just about to hatch.

 

[The Wild One]

Also, for those interested in getting a copy of the reference book, Chapter's/Indigo books sells them, newer cover, but same stuff inside.
