This little larvae worm is part of the geometridae family of moths, the name derived from an ancient Greek word meaning ‘earth measurer’, which is what they appear to be doing as they inch along leaves and twigs. I couldn’t definitively identify this particular one, despite the prominent cone-shaped head.
