Certainly looks like it but what kind of moth is it as I cannot find any info other than the picture you pointed to?

For some reason when I clicked the original link the info top and bottom of the picture which I can now see, was not availible to me. It looked like a Flickr listing but shorn of the usual details you get on there so all I saw was the pic of the larve. I am a member of BCNI and they use CEDAR to allow members to report sightings & include photos etc which I regularly do.
