Roger,

Silver Y (Autographa gamma) is a possibility, but some of the related plusiid moths are very similar.

Thanks Martin,
I'd just about given up on any response on this post..were not my best photo's..wrong DOF settings.Frown
Silver Y Moths are very common here so the odds are fairly high that this might be one of their caterpillars.Smile
Regards Roger

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
