Identify a ?caterpillar
Please help identify a strange (to me) caterpillar. It is about 25mm
long, dirty grey in colour, hairy with long hairs, not furry, two antennae(?) at one end, and spiky tail(?) at the other end. I found it this morning on the jamb of the front door in my rural village street. I have looked in the insect field guide without success. It most closely resembles the caterpillar of the garden tiger (Arctia caja), but with fewer and longer hairs and with a tail and antennae. I have it safe in a plastic bag for now, but it will need to be released soon, so please reply quickly! Hugh -- Hugh Newbury www.evershot-weather.org |
