Re: Green caterpillar identification please!

It's a Bright-line Brown-eye Lacanobia oleracea.

They pupate underground so it'll need an inch or so of loose soil - they also overwinter so when it has pupated stick it outside in a shed or somewhere cool and check on it regularly from April-ish onwards (the adults fly from May onwards) or bring it back inside where you can keep an eye on it.
