| | | green striped caterpillar
I have just noted a light green caterpillar eating my Tomato leaves. It is about 30mm long (1 1/4 inches). Not hairy ,but with a very prominant but narrow yellow stripe.
I couldn't ID it in the books that I have currently.
Can you help??

Thanks Charlieb. Thanks for your time with this query. The photo of the moth was helpful. As a matter of fact we had this precise moth in our kitchen the night before last.
