Large Yellow Underwing

I found this caterpillar on one of the larger Common Spotted Orchids having just stripped the plant of its flowers and started on the leaves. I resisted the urge to punish it and took a photo for identification purposes. It looks like it is the larva of the Large Yellow Underwing moth - one of our commonest large moths.
