You can give up on this larva, i meant in general. I have some black ones I will upload now maybe you could help me find what those are. :)

you'll see, they are all the same, I think I won't search IDs for caterpillars anymore, it's too hard :D

Yes yes the genus is right but looks like the caterpillars are really similar to each other so I will have to study this genus carefully :)

Ok, I didn't check Danish datebase :( I will leave suggestion for the genus only, I'm 100 % sure that the genus is right, all moths from this genus have very similar caterpillars...

Jopy thanks but this species are not found in DK plus the larvae in wikipedia looks a bit different in colors and shapes. But it's definitely the right genus so that's already a great help.
