It's missing those large white tufts of bristles.
Tussock moth larvae (and those of many other species) can exhibit quite
a bit of variability between instars. Geographical location can also
account for quite a range of variability between separate populations of
a species. However, John's geographical observation leads me to believe
my ID is spurious. It is some species of tussock moth - that I am
certain. Vapourer, anyone?
