Sorry, got no idea, but that's a lovely fluffy caterpillar and a great shot too!  Was it actually munching on the campanula do you know? |

The reserve has variable habitats including mudflats, salt marsh, shingle ridges, sand dunes, ponds and where the caterpillar was seen heathland. |

Not too good on caterpillars but I think it's a Fox Moth caterpillar. |
