mystery solved...I think I'm often smarter in morning than at night :D
Jopy
I didn't give up from this one, either :)

You can give up on this larva, i meant in general. I have some black ones I will upload now maybe you could help me find what those are. :)
Jopy
haha well, my stubborn brain is turned on, maybe i won't give up totally :) unsolved ID motivates me to search further...
Jopy
you'll see, they are all the same, I think I won't search IDs for caterpillars anymore, it's too hard :D
FaredinAliyevski
Yes yes the genus is right but looks like the caterpillars are really similar to each other so I will have to study this genus carefully :)
Jopy
Ok, I didn't check Danish datebase :( I will leave suggestion for the genus only, I'm 100 % sure that the genus is right, all moths from this genus have very similar caterpillars...
FaredinAliyevski
Jopy thanks but this species are not found in DK plus the larvae in wikipedia looks a bit different in colors and shapes. But it's definitely the right genus so that's already a great help.
