Matches grey caterpillar for E. fervens on LBH which appears slightly more mature than this specimen.

I was too late to scare it to show the bands behind the head. When I looked it had immediately begun to go into the pupal stage. Moth emerged this morning so will update this sighting with photos of the moth. I notice this site doesn't have any moth photos.
Actually I'll post it as a new sighting as this post already has five photos so will link it.

This and the adult 4201986 are a female Pararguda nasuta (or nearby sp), same as Alison's 4205348 and 4205553 previous pair under that name.

Yes; the absence of horns behind the thorax is the difference. I should have noticed that straight away.
