Spotting

Notes:

When feels threatened, this caterpillar lifts its rear tip, which looks like a head, so protecting its most vital part - its real head.

Looking at the 3 pair of legs and probably some "fake" legs behind I think this is not a lepi caterpillar but some other kind of an insect larva. Maybe a wasp??
