Okay thanks for the suggestions! I am keeping a close eye on it :)

That species is made to look like bird poo so it doesnt get eaten. It probably is staying very still to stay camoflaged so birds dont try and eat it.

As the caterpillar chose the spot, it is probably best where it is. But do keep an eye on it and take photos of any changes.
