Evening primrose moth (Schinia florida): adults and caterpillar

This rather nondescript little green caterpillar turns into the gloriously bright pink moth with green eyes. The only nod to the moth it will become, is the pink on the head of the caterpillar. The caterpillars feed on seeds inside the primrose seedpods, as shown here.
