Another photo of the adult moth replaing the third photo from side on looking at the top side of the forewings would be good.

Crysodeixis (genus) known to feed on Solanaceae (family )species and the caterpillar seems to match.

Sorry Ian - only got a photo through the jar that it was in. Hope the swapped photo helps

Thanks, I think I can now see the feature in the adult forewing pattern which tends to confirm its C. eriosema. Good work!
