It's one of these, but unfortunately I can't get to the pictures I've taken of the one I have because since the lap-top has been cleaned the guy has changed a few things.  So will have to sort that out at a later time.  But my caterpillar is just as beautiful as the one in the link!!

Scroll down and just look at it's rear end!!!

Marvelous. We had some hawkmoth caterpillars a few years back at our old house. I had much less impressive cabbage white caterpillars this year.
