Someone please help me identify this caterpillar!

Hi all! New to this forum...I was recently in Battle Creek, Michigan (at Binder Park Zoo, to be exact) and discovered this little caterpillar hanging on a brown, dead leaf in the sun. Little did I realize it was probably eating this leaf. I picked it up and REALLY wanted to take it home, but I soon realized I knew NOTHING about taking care of it, and wanted to make sure it was able to become a butterfly/moth. I went to put him down and he fell from my hand but hung from a white/clear string (which made me wonder if he was a caterpillar at all) Can anyone tell me what kind of insect this is? Or what kind of caterpillar it is? I'm interested to know what kind of butterfly/moth it might have become. Sorry this is the only picture I have.

Geezzz it is a poor shot :/ Nice hand tho
It looks like it could be of a skiper I've seen similar larvae feeding on lemon trees and grasses.
Yes probably all caterpillars will produce silk. One thing is for sure, it is a lep (Lepidoptera)

The picture is not enlarged enough to see if there are ocelli on the head or the number of prolegs present, so it also could be a sawfly larva (Hymenoptera)

In theory yes but it does not look like it...
