Can anybody help me identify this Caterpillar I found enjoying one of my Dahlia's this morning? Many thanks!
Could be the caterpillar of the Swallow Prominent moth http://www.uksafari.com/swallow_prominent_moths.htm
I think it is certainly a moth larva. There are several that look similar to yours:- Clouded Drab, Bright-line Brown- eye, Angel shade, Green Silver-lines. Go on the web. There are loads of pictures for you to choose from.
Thanks, I tried looking it up on the web before posting but couldn't figure out which one it is lol I shall keep an eye on it
There's nothing to indicate size there NG
I'd say it was about 1cm long nutcutlet
