My better half found this little fella while gardening late this afternoon. I think this is the larva of a Brimstone, but am not 100% certain.

The colourful background consists of kids slide + climbing frame. Shame I can't take these with me on my outings.

Larger version here.

Thanks for looking.

150mm macro, f22, 0.5sec, iso640 (oops!), full frame.
