Hello,
it might be The Drinker (Euthrix potatoria) . That caterpillar is for
example feeding of Common reed (as shown at the picture?).
Compare "Jim Porter , The Colour Identification Guide to Caterpillars of the
British Isles, Plate 7/K "
A better picture of that caterpillar is shown at my German Butterfly
