Today I found a catterpillar feeding on the horse raddish. It was green and hairy and it had a pale green stripe along one of its sides it definitely wasn't a cabage looper but there was on of them on there. Any suggestions?  |

My speciality, but not without a picture. There are dozens that could fit that description...
is it soft and velvety? Are the hairs very short? Is the line along the side actually yellow? If so, then it is most likely a small white butterfly (Pieris rapae)

I think Pieris rapae is the most likley answer because I saw that species of buterfly landing on the horse raddish around 10 minutes ago.
