I have some larvae that I'm unable to identify. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
These were taken in May
These were both taken last June

Re: Larvae ID Please
Hi Kev,
No idea with the first one. The second is actually a Hoverfly larvae, the third looks like its from the family Arctiidae, the Tiger Moths etc and the last one could be a Grass Egger.
Hope thats of some help

Re: Larvae ID Please
The first looks like an early Vapourer caterpillar - the eggs are laid around the cocoon of the flightless female. The Arctiidae could be White or Buff Ermine (correction: White Ermine, or possibly Muslin or Ruby Tiger. Can't pin it down and not sure how much variation you get with these)
