Hi @donhe An update on this caterpillar. It changed colour to green and yellow and grew quite quickly up to about 5.5cm. A week ago it disappeared overnight, I assume it burrowed into the soil at the bottom of the jar. I haven't seen it since. It seemed pretty healthy when I last saw it.

There was only one but I have got it in a jar and will try to rear it.
