Who can help me? I photographed this larva this morning on a clearing with erica species.

This is Lepidoptera Larva (caterpillar), there are no prolegs on the first couple of abdominal segments. Most likely Noctuidae.

I can not exactly say why this is not Geometridae, but the jizz does not really fit. The head and the position of forelegs in relation to the body, as well as the position and form of the last pair of prolegs ("tails"Wink suggests Noctuidae Catocalinae or related.

Thnaks!
It seemed to to me that this way of moving belonged to Geometridae! Smile?

Hello
No it isn't Geometridae, the caterpillar of Geometridae have 3 pairs of real legs before, 1 pair of true legs in the middle and 1 pair of true legs at the end. Here is two true legs in the middle : it is a caterpillar of Noctuidae.

Callistege mi without doubt - leaving its hostplant (Trifolium, Medicago) and looking for a safe place to build a cocoon for overwintering. E. glyphica doesn't have white spiracular stripes.
