LARGE CATERPILLAR FOR ID

Post by Devon Dave »

Hi ,
and a very Happy New Year to everyone from Devon. Going through the hundreds of butterfly related photos I have taken over the years, to pass away the Wintery days I came across this photo I took of a rather large and colourful Caterpillar. Any one know what it might be , I would love to know in case I ever see one again.
Thanks for looking.

Happy New Year, Dave!

This is a Knot Grass moth larva.

Cheers,
