Looks a lot like a maggot, but greener.

Looks like a little caterpillar! Is it alive? Can you put it outside?

Is it moving? I've seen caterpillars like that but they move in quite a distinctive way

Looks like a brimstone or maybe skipper caterpillar, though there are some other similar kinds esp moth ones, though it doesn't seem to have spike like hawkmoth ones and I'm not too sure of others. You could do with a size scale. I'm guessing from the smear by the side that it's been pecked by a bird or squashed :(.

Good caterpillar ID guide here since you can see it closer than us www.ukbutterflies.co.uk/species.php

In the kitchen?

It must be very, very hungry.

I've binned everything and bought them new just in case it's a maggot. Now time to scrub their kitchen from top to bottom.

when I was wee I used to collect caterpillars from the leaves in a bush at a house up the road from me and put them in a jar hoping they would turn into butterflies. Used to also collect rose petals to make 'perfume'
