What is this creature that I found in the husk of my corn plant?

I was excited when corn husks finally grew on my corn plants but then one started looking a bit odd, so I took a look at it and found this creature inside. Can you tell me what it is please?

Most likely it’s an earworm. Learn more here: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/insects/corn-earworm-control.htm ^[1]
You can also get an identification from the county extension service. This link will help you locate the nearest one: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/info/what-is-extension-service.htm ^[2]
