What is this pest that is in my greenhouse. This is the second year this has occurred. I have shading net over roof windows and door, and grow in pots of fresh compost each year. How can I get rid of it or stop it next year?

The black bits are the droppings of the caterpillar.

Try looking at Google images for caterpillars or lers. You might find it in the images there. As said above, it could turn into a beautiful butterfly or moth, so maybe place it somewhere less damaging.

It's a caterpilla. Not sure what type though. Pick them off with your hands or spray with systemic insecticide.
