In my opinion, the little guy here would be better off moving to another stem, if not another plant entirely.
I believe these are both Ermine Moth (Genus Estigmene) caterpillars (although I could be wrong there), and they are demolishing a dandelion flower.
When I went to look later in the day, that entire stem had been eaten and the caterpillars had moved away.

I invite you to join me on my journey to convert my sterile (from a nature point of view) new house lot to a healthy and diverse ecosystem, as I make discoveries, mistakes, and hopefully progress. I am not an expert or professional. The project started in February 2023 and the location is Seguin, Texas, USA.
