That is what I marked it as when I was sorting through the pictures then I saw a picture of the cabbage moth caterpillar and wasn't sure as mine doesn't have the dark flashes all along the body.

It isn't all that important I just like to have anything like that catalogued correctly when I post it on my website or to a forum, I suppose most people wouldn't bother :)
