Calliteara pudibunda in our Salix exigua

Identity

I can use some help identifying this caterpillar...

It's sitting on Salix exigua (narrow leaf willow). Underneath are my tomato plants.
It's no tobacco hornworm because the colour of the tail isn't red

It's no tomato hornworm because it's tail isn't black

Lime hawk moth? Don't think so.

My final guess: it's Smerinthus ocellatus (eyed hawk-moth, Pauwoogpijlstaart)

Caterpillar

This amazing swallowtail caterpillar is feasting on the Daucus carota plant.
We have quite a few of them in our garden. Caterpillars as well as plants :)

Toy

Mats and his favourite toy to retrieve: the caterpillar.

It was a gift from a colleague al long time ago.

The caterpillar is getting a bit tatty by the intensive use and washing.

If you might know where I can buy a similar caterpillar, I would love to hear it!
