Saw this little fellow earlier this week, in Luddenden Dean.
Initially I thought it was a piece of sheep's wool, covered in luminous algae.
It really was this bright. My camera hasn't changed its colours.
I think it has a face like a cat without ears!
Charlie Streets said they are known as 'Hop Dogs', due to the havoc they wreak on hop plantations.

Would love to see an adult, they have wonderfully furry legs. Have a look at the Butterfly Conservation site https://butterfly-conservation.org/moths/pale-tussock
ReplyDeleteFancy caterpillar! I agree with Julian, would be great to see the adult as well.
