Cocoon and caterpillar

Description:

Cocoon and larva of a moth or butterfly. The caterpillar was green in colour and very well camouflaged. It was never noticed in situ, only after proper examination of the photograph during playback.

Habitat:

On weed plant in a bush along the way.

Notes:

The caterpillar appears to be that of a geometrid moth. They commonly called loopers or inchworms.
