Caterpillar for ID

Post by traplican »

Today I have sanapped a caterpillar in our garden, most probably some Noctuid, on a Sea Buckthorn leave, near the growing point:

Can anybody say what is it, please?

Hi there,

I'd say it looks like a Bright-line Brown-eye Lacanobia oleracea. But I could easily be mistaken!!!

Cheers,

Gibster.
