ID Brown Caterpiller Wyre Forest (1 Viewer)

I came across a Caterpiller in the Wyre Forest, Worcestershire, today, but have no photo. It was about an Inch and a half long, chocolate brown with a slightly lighter brown stipe along the side of the body. It was hairless and looked rather like a small piece of poo. It was feeding on Primrose and when touched it spat out a blob of green saliva. Any ideas what this could be?
