Seen this one in the lane today. Don't know what it will eventually be, but not seen one like that before. Did move it to a safer place.
Caterpillars
Re: Caterpillars
Loved this !!
Did a quick Firkle and reckon it's a Pale Tussock Moff Caterpillar. Not amongst our 10 most common.
Brilliant spot, Willpar

Re: Caterpillars
Excellent Willpar. I don't think I've ever seen one of those.
Top marks Placi for the ID.

Re: Caterpillars
Thanks for the id Placi. Did a quick look myself after I seen your post, and those hairs can give a nasty rash. Good job I never touched it. As you heard a lady was coming down the lane that I know, and I was talking to her dog and not the caterpillar. Mind you I do say hello to the cows at the gate.
Re: Caterpillars
Talking to her dog ?!?!?! I thought you were talking to the lady
Strange that such a stand out caterpillar results in such a 'so what' type of moff
