I don't mind the caterpillar eating the Oregano. But I am curious what this is a caterpillar of. I am in Sydney, Australia.
My guess is a larva of Chrysodeixis argentifera. Only a guess though.

I think it's a Green Looper / Chrysodeixis eriosoma. Little bastards go through herbs like seagulls with a bag of chips, and they're all over Australasia.
