Olive green cutworm
by: Moni

Mac
Your caterpillar is called an olive green cutworm. It turns into a moth.
This caterpillar was probably heading to an overwintering site. They overwinter as mature caterpillars. This insect is found in the northern states from WI and Manitoba to BC and then south to CA and AZ..not found in the eastern states.
The larvae feed on grasses especially the invasive reed canary grass.
Here are some photos of the moth and other stages -
