Citrus feeding moths?

[jamesd]

I found a small green caterpillar on a citrus tree. I have eliminated the possibility of it being Papilio, so it must be a moth. But are there any moths that feed on citrus?
It has an orange hair-stick structure on one side of it's body. That's a characteristic of Sphingidae larvae, yeah? I doubt it's that anyway. I really have no idea.

Yes James, many moths do feed (or can feed) on citrus in Australia. I can immediately think of species of Hyalarcta, Pholodes, Oiketicus, Ectropis, Chrysodeixis, and even Cephonodes kingii (one of the hummingbird hawkmoths) and Syntherata janetta (Silkmoth) can eat it succesfully...

Ok, thanks. Now that I know that, the easiest way to identify it would probably be to just wait and see what it evolves into.
