Here is the image of the larva from which this moth developed. Some (few) of these numerous larvae were brown (other species?) but 98% were green. They could 'fall' off the branches in a controlled descent, suspended on silk threads. This was in in September 2011 http://www.flickr.com/photos/66925960@N0...
Leuba, the caterpillar image is in a folder that I cannot relocate. It looks like the one I have just added but green. Its image does appear on the newly added link here http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au...

That caterpillar would make a beautiful door draught stopper.
