Done any flossing recently?

Cannot find this caterpillar in my book. Would appreciate if anyone could ID it. Don't know if my picture does it justice but it was fluorescent green. Never seen anything like it. It was absolutely stunning.

Hi Maggie, like the image! Closest I can get is the Pale Tussock. Markings look identical and it does seem as if there may be some colour variation (2 versions in British moths and butterflies)



Scott

I agree with Scott, it looks like a pale tussock. An amazing little beast it is too,

I concurr, pale tussock

Nice shot Maggie.

Thank you Scott, David, Andrew and Andy. I have now found it in the book. Unfortunately it was shown as yellow so I didn't read the blurb.

Love this, never seem to find any caterpillars how do you do it?

Hello Maggie.

Nice find and stunning looking caterpillar they are. I really like how you have managed to capture the caterpiller looking at you.

I might just do some thing about the bright piece of grass in the bottom left corner.
