This small green caterpillar is easily identified by two white protuberances on its back and a typical curled "question mark" posture. A young instar.
Hiding between two gumleaves, sewn together for its diurnal nap.
Here is a late instar caterpillar with typical "?" shape http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/103... Here is the adult moth which grew from that caterpillar. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/103...
