Yes, Chathura, I also think that the green one might be an earlier instar. Compare also the size.

Chathura, I am not sure if it is Eudocima fullonia! I just added the link for illustration of the genus. There are other Eudocima sp. found in Sri Lanka! Maybe Nuwan can help more. In the meanwhile I suggest we take Eudocima sp.

Should be a Fruit Piercing Moth Caterpillar, maybe an earlier instar of an Eudocima sp.?
