My daughter found a caterpillar and we were wondering what it might be. It's green with very little distinguishing features, so my guess was that it would be difficult, if not impossible, for an amateur like me to identify.
Suspected Angle Shades Larva
Spotted 2 April 2016
However, looking through some images on the internet it appears that I may have found it.
It was the colour with a slight change in colour of the head and the line running down the back leg that made me think it must an Angle Shades.
I know we have Angle Shades in the garden because I caught a few in the moth trap late last year.
Here are some images of one of them.
