Found this caterpillar in the garden recently. Such a pretty caterpillar it's a pity it produces such an uninteresting grey moth.

That's quite a caterpillar, Graham. It's got lots of fine colors and that "horn" is pretty amazing also. Your dof choice here works very well with the caterpillar and much of it's hair nicely sharp. Yes, it does seem surprising that caterpillars like these turn into quite plain brown/grey moths.

I agree with Mark, fine colors & the cats hairs are surprisingly sharp.
I like the 'horn' like structure too, it adds interest. Great pano comp, like the curved leaf with the caterpillar headed down the 'chute' up ahead. Well done
