I have been unable to identify this caterpillar, which is scoffing my Belamcanda. Does anyone recognise it?

A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

Thank you both, that is definitely it.

It is in my Caterpillar identification book, but the drawing doesn't bear much resemblance to the real thing!
