Great photo. Love the pink legs and claspers. Probably Geometridae. No obvious match with any of the 164 Geometrid larvae illustrated on Coffs website. Can you rear it please to get an adult that we can ID ?

Any chance of going back to find it? In general, we cannot ID larvae directly: they usually need to be reared to the moth for an ID. Otherwise it is just a pretty picture.
