User's notes
Four caterpillars, each on it's own (cat ear) flower. Eats cat ear and dandelion flowers.
Left it in a jar resting on its flower, in the morning it had disappeared. Suppose it went underground although I couldn't find a cocoon - I'm puzzled... Anyway, looks like it was a moth caterpillar then.
