Re: Help with larvae / caterpillar ID please.

Hi,
While we are on the subject of caterpillars, theres one I see all the time up in the Cheviots but Ive never photoed and I cant find it in any book Ive seen.
Its about 2.5 inches long, stripy black and orange longish fur, I was told by someone that it was a Hawk moth but I have never been able to confirm it.
Any ideas ?
If not Ill try to get a photo next time.
