Hampshire caterpillar ID (1 Viewer)

Lime-speck Pug feeeding on Yarrow(?). Looks about ready to pupate.
It's usually helpful if you're able to give a bit more information such as the habitat, the size, the foodplant and a view from the side.

Thanks Richard.

The closest to a side on shot that I managed to get focussed (a windy day and trying to move the flower stem with left hand while trying to photograph with DSLR+macro with right hand!) is attached.

The plant was Yarrow as you Id'd and the caterpillar was 10mm. Habitat - a path through grazed fields with scattered gorse bushes but not far from deciduous woodland - as per attached screenshot.

Cheers, Paul
