I agree that the published photos of the larvae of A. nicothoe and P. amplicornis are similar. I think the lateral row of white verrucae are more evident in P. amplicornis than in A. nicothoe and this specimen.

@Aussiegall : please can you rear it to an adult moth to resolve this ambiguity ?

@donhe I went back to see if I could find it but it has moved on, if I spot it again I can try to rear it
