So the catepillar has been identified as the tiger moth catepillar which feeds mostly on milkweed or dogbane. Milkweed = good, Dogbane = bad. I'm leaning towards milkweed on this one but I would have to return to the patch and break the stem to see if it is hollow (milkweed) or filled with milky white creamy stuff (dogbane) to be sure. If it is milkweed...I read it is delightful!
