I think the caterpillar in the middle is in the Woolly Bear family of moths and the bigger caterpillar maybe of the Cabbage White Butterfly

Large green caterpillar is Opodiphthera helena I think. Can the photo be split into two?

The white adfrontal area of the head of the hairy caterpillar is inconsistent with Ardices (Arctiinae) species, and consistent with Anthela species.
