Caterpillar (1) to be identified

O that is unusual, love the colours....

Thats what I thought Michaella..had a great time..like going on me own little safari ..lol

What an attractive Caterpillar, he will really stand out in a crowd!

He's beautiful Deida. I've put him on my favourites.

Thanks PP and Toto..this little creatue is a beauty...Toto whats up...get your books out....love to know what it is..lol

Wow...he is brilliant Deida !

Thanks BB..Congrats(I spy a bird)

Whatever he is ..he has lovely colouring........

aw ,thanks Milky

Aww thanks Deida,,,keep those great pics coming ......

No doubt he will turn into a beautiful butterfly or moth, that's all I can say.

It looks like a leapard moth may be

It's not a leopard moth caterpillar Sixpence. I will do as Deida suggests and look in my books but unless it's a European I doubt if I'll find out.

Hi Toto I have no pics of caterpillar but book states those of the Ermine Moth - of which I guess there must be more than one variety - are white with black spots what do you think ?

Thank you all for your nice comments and interest ...still not any wiser..
so frustrating...spent two days searching the web..no luck

wow!

Wow aswell never seen one like this.

Is there a Dalmatian moth?

lol..Wagger

Where they blue or black spots on it Deida as they look blue to me.

Blue spots Sixpence

I thought so, I was wondering if is was some kind of Monarch as the australian ones are white but no spots.

Deida...been trawling through internet too...and found an identical photo...but guess what ? They couldnt ID it either.....and called it photo no 56 !!! Think a book "Collins Caterpillars of Britain and Europe " might be the answer...will take a look when next in town !

Cheers BB.....well I don't know this is just typical..never mind, thanks for trying
have to call it Caterpillar 56 lol...

Can anyone ID the plant it's on,I know some can eat several types but wondered if it might help :)

sorry Aster can't remember the plant..was more interested in the caterpillar..
know better next time...

It's certainly having a go at that leaf !

all what I remember the next day..petty for the plant..storks only..
