    Who is this little friend? It's about the size of a finger. Google suggested Garden Tiger moth but the hairs are black so it doesn't quite fit.

    Thanks!

      Probably a Humped Mummy Eater. I have a book about moths and other crawlies and the names are just unbelievable. :biggrin:

      On another note, is that shadow you holding a dagger? ;)

            It’s been absolutely years since I last saw a furry caterpillar @Selleri ! ( that’s what we used to call them). It certainly brought back some memories when I saw your pic….. thanks!
