Can anyone tell me what sort of butterfly/moth this caterpillar will become? Here's a similar picture to it:

Answer 1

The larva seems to be of Pieris napi butterfly.

Its English name is grreen veined white butterfly.

The larva is greenish but the butterfly that will grow from it would probably be white wings with a greenish body. The yellowish color will most probably disappear later in a matred stage.
