Unknown Caterpillar

Post by admiral halsey »

Hi all. I'm a newbie here, so forgive my ignorance. I took this photo last October on a cliffside walk in cornwall. Below is a link to the location. I've had a good look at some of the galleries online, and maybe just missed it. I gather that it is likely to be a moth caterpillar, but other than that I have no idea. Hope someone can help. Cheers

It looks like a fox moth to me:

Hi all

Anyone able to identify these beauties. Taken on the cliff overlooking Dover Ferry harbour.

Cheers, Rich

I'd say Brown-tail Moth for those.
