Ragwort... and no.
That's the one! I knew it, but the name just wouldn't come to me.
That'll be Cinnabar moth caterpillars... the moth itself is day-flying and
very pretty.... bright cerise and black.
They're gorgeous, aren't they. They don't seem to actually eat the
plant - or if they do they're not very thorough. My main concern is
that the (almost) feral rabbit will develop a taste for the stuff. I
assume that so far he hasn't, as he's still very much with us...

The caterpillars are yellow & black striped, like Tigger.
Tigger was a caterpillar??
