Unidentified caterpillar

We were surprised to find a little green caterpillar (on daikon) survive after being in the fridge for three days. Afraid that the birds might eat it, we created a little habitat.

Interestingly, we discovered a cocoon the following day, thinking that the green caterpillar had turned white. Another day after, we realised there were actually two caterpillars in the habitat! The latter turned into a Diamondback Moth several days later and we set it free.

The little green caterpillar remains in the habitat and has become longer with a purplish red line in the middle.
