Yes, most catepillars eat plants. The type of plant/s depends on the species of catepillar. i.e. Monarch butterfly catepillars favorite plant is Acelepias, common name "Butterfly weed" or "Milkweed". Many avid gardeners plant Ascelepias for the Monarchs which also feed on the nectar.

It is probably a yellow striped army worm, but the colors may vary. I found green, brown-gray, brown, and black. the way they eat the ferns is they attach themselves onto the stem and suck.
