Just found this thread. Don't usually look in the cultivation problems as insects for identification usually turn up in the wildlife thread. The caterpillar is a sawfly caterpillar. The head with its black "eye" is very characteristic. Similar to this one:

I think I'd got that far, Anthony. I wondered if it was a notifiable species - If it did the same to a larch plantation as they did to my little tree it would be a serious problem.

I've tried to look, but they don't seem to be a fashionable group to study so you'd need an expert or a monograph with descriptions to identify it.
