Caterpillar ID? - Homesteading Questions

They are on my wisteria, as you can see. There aren't so many that they're doing much damage so I'm inclined to leave them, but am wondering what I'm encouraging (we have lots of different butterflies).

The caterpillars that form butterflies that I am familiar with are all smooth (not hairy) except maybe for a few tufts. However, there are smooth caterpillars like the horn worms on tomatoes, that are smooth but become moths.
