| |  Unidentified caterpillar Would like to know what it is.
This caterpillar was found in my garden in Nottinghamshire, UK.
Any help to identify it would be appreciated.
Thanks Kim http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/ar...terpillar4.jpg |

Hi Kim, welcome to the site.
I think that it's a caterpillar of the Large Yellow Underwing moth, but I'm not certain.

Thank You for your reply i have looked up a picture of the Large Yellow Underwing moth and I think it most probably is.
Thanks again.

I'd agree - and the bug is Picromerus bidens. Rather a large snack  |
