Unknown hirsute caterpillar

Post by traplican »

Having returned from the evening walk with our daughter my wife reported me that they find four hirsute caterpillars on the margin of our neibour's meadow/horse pasture. I have found two giant caterpillars on the place she had described:

Can anybody help me with identification?

That would be Macrothylagia rubi.

Edit: Right - same question twice and the other thread already had an answer... :(

Excuse me. During sending this topic a "General Error" occured so I have inserted new topic sooner than I recognised that the first one had been successfully inserted. :oops:
