Hi guys,

I've been seeing alot of these stunning caterpillars on a lavender patch recently but am unsure what type they are. The closest one I could find was possibly a mullein moth, the colours are the same but the pattern is slightly different. Can anyone help identify it for me?

Thanks in advance

Looks rather like Toadflax Brocade larvae, though I thought they only fed on toadflax, Linaria spp.
