I encountered an astonishingly beautiful caterpillar at Tegg's Nose today. Looking through my books when I got back I was amazed that this large caterpillar, around 2 inches long, was the larva of the little Vapourer moth. I attach a rather poor photo taken with my phone...................

Re: Vapourer Larva
Agreed Tim - they are jaw-droppers.
Buddleia is a good place to look for them - we have had them several times in the past - certainly more often than trapped adults.
Cheers,
Steve
