Yeah, have to say I think you guys are right - common white wave. Thanks for saving me hours of painstaking deliberation!

Have just seen a caterpillar in the garden that looks similar to this one. Dont have a photo but it was slightly different - very evenly fawn coloured resembling bark and it had a distinct nodule in the middle like a bud. If anyone is still there do they have any ideas?? |

Thanks in advance! Sarah | Looks like a Swallowtail Moth but in my experience they are green, round with a rounded head and only Ivy.
I could look it up but why not hatch it out o find out. That is much more fun and you learn lots in the process.
