Too many prolegs for Geometridae, so more likely Noctuidae which has a number of species with stripey larvae like this specimen, but cannot go further without photos showing a dorsal view, and showing the head.

Thanks. So I think you guys are saying it is some form of moth.

Yes: it is a caterpillar: the larva of a moth.
