Beautiful set of shots Roger and a guess at the caterpillar - Trichoplusia ni

Thanks for the comments everyone.
Ron if you are right and it is Trichoplusia ni that would be very interesting as according to what info I can find on it Trichoplusia ni is an immigrant moth. |

Thanks Ellen and Fieldfare. I would love to be able to positively identify the caterpillar but guess it will be nigh on impossible at that range. |

Ron might be on the right lines - Burnished Brass, Diachrysia chrysitis looks a good candidate (I take it you don't have any better shots?) |
