caterpillar eating my d. burmannii

My d. burmanni was doing well for a long time, but over a month ago, I noticed it being to become a little bit lose from the substrate. last week, I realised that it was very loose from the pot, I notices it was slanted and the leaves were dying. Today, the plant was de attached from the pot and i saw a brown caterpillar about a cm long underneath the leaves. I am not sure what it is but it has now became a meal for my dictoma giant. it looks like a cutworm but I am not sure what it is.
 
Sorry to hear it. Sundews have rather amazing powers of growth and recovery so perhaps it can re-establish itself. A good use for the caterpillar!
