caterpillar ID
Grubbypaws:
Does any one know what this caterpillar is? It is nearly 2cm long and is on a salad leaf (giant red mustard)
sunshineband:
A Hawk moth I think from the size and shape. There is a variety of elephant hawk caterpillar which is plain green... does it have a tiny "tail horn"?

No horn and it is yellow not green. It is almost featureless except on closer examination there are feint dots along its sides. I was wondering about a Herald moth but it is on a mustard salad leaf not a poplar or willow.
sunshineband:
Can't see the head. Is it brown or yellow?
