Unidentified caterpillar - Id please

[Lacerta]

This image was taken just over a couple of week ago and I have been trying to get an id for it without success, the caterpillar was found on a blade of grass in woodland and is around 1cm long with a single white stripe along its back. I would be grateful for an id for this little fella!

I've been searching - in vain - for anything that looks like this.

I'm really intrigued and would love to know myself what it is!

Have a look at the caterpiller of the Buttoned snout moth, in my book it looks very simular to your caterpiller, hope this helps.

Yes Wayne, after looking at other images I see what you mean. Mystery solved, perhaps?

I found one that looks the same found in woodland falling on long threads from the trees.
I think maybe some sawfly larvae but not sure.

Many thanks for the replies and your help, this certainly is a tricky one.

Wayne, I did have a look at your suggestion of the Buttoned Snout Moth. It certainly looks similar, but I am not entirely convinced, due to the location and the time of year, though these are not always accurate in themselves.

At the moment this would appear to be to top candidate, however I will keep looking.

Kayleigh, that's a good point it could be a sawfly, will need to do so more checking, mind you I hope not as these seem to be even harder to identify than moth and butterfly caterpillars.

If anyone has any further suggestions, I would be grateful, once I get a definitive Id, I'll post it in the Gallery.
