A lateral view photo showing which prolegs were present and which if any were reduced would be helpful.

Hi Don, it is the same as the sighting on 20 Jan. I brought the first one home and it now has the same colourings as the 20 Jan specimens.

To what length did this caterpillar grow?
Did it pupate in a cocoon: in bush / in ground debris / under soil ?
