Not sure how healthy it was. It was alive but somewhat soft and deflated. It had possibly been frozen the night before I saw it.

@kasiaaus : did you examine the underside? How many prolegs did it have?

Hi @donhe I've added a photo that shows that bit of the underside. It looks to me like it has 4 pairs of prolegs plus the grip ones at the end. Does that help?

Thanks. That rules out most Geometrids and many Erebidids and Noctuids. Shall work on it when I can get back to my laptop.

The pale head speckled with brown, the thin tail, and the full set of prolegs : look like a Fisera species.
