The larvae of Heliothinae show more intra-species variability than inter-species variations, so probably the only way to identify the species is to rear it to the adult moth.

Thanks 'donhe' - I am constantly amazed at the similarity of species in the insect world, very confusing for a 'newbie' like me! I appreciate your interest.
