Spodoptera litura
Colour is Greenish-with mottling. Wavy patterns down the side. Fat caterpillar, non -bristly.
Value-added Gladioli sold to me by the florist. Discovered on my table when I was about to throw away the almost-dry flowers. It had been chomping on them the whole week.
This is listed as a pest of gladiolus. By the time I replaced my camera it had wandered off. Also called Oriental Leafworm Moth, Cluster caterpillar, Cotton leafworm, and Tobacco cutworm.
