The caterpillar (top) looks different from the T.besta (bottom) I raised previously. It has not black cap on its tail and the face marking is very small.

Thank you for the ID and Happy Chinese New Year!

Since you raised it on Panicum then it is the female T. augias.
It can be hard to tell but the female T. augias is more orange & the underside of the body not so white as T. besta.

Yes this looks more like the female T. augias.
The female T. besta for comparison.
