a very large caterpillar found crossing the road up to Kit Hill. It looks a bit like the caterpillar of the tiger moth known colloquially as woolly bears, but it is very large for a tiger moth caterpillar and a slightly different colour. I haven't been able to identify it. Many caterpillars are leaving their food plants now to look for somewhere to hibernate.
Wonderful Autumn foliage!
ReplyDeleteJust had wonderful weekend in St Ives looking in loads of galleries and seeing a lot of rubbish but some really great work.

Does look like some type of Tiger Moth caterpillar. Saw similar down at the Lizard earlier in year.
