Collected it with some leaves from the rose bush I found it on. No signs it ate any and now deceased.

@DianneClarke : very tapered. Looks more like a fly larva to me. How did you determine it was Lepidoptera?

@donhe My best guess in the absence of knowledge other than there are lots of green cats with a lateral stripe
