Have not found a picture that describes this caterpillar. Rests imitating a stick, forms a loop when moving and releases a green liquid when disturbed.

@donhe : yes, I have taken it in to monitor. It has so far changed colour to orange-brown. Will have to see if this reaches adulthood though, it seems very restless and doesn't seem to eat much.
