I nobody else is prepared to have a go, I'll start the bidding off with White Ermine moth.
90% chance of this being wrong; but somebody will probably come along now to correct me. |

I got this caterpillar identified as a Fox Moth; 
Looks pretty different. Though my ID might be wrong, but I rely on clever WABbers you see!  |

I think it is a White Ermine moth caterpillar after extensive googling I found a thread on this site with an identical picture.
Thank you all. |

Extensive googling I like that phrase
Glad you got it sorted, and we've all learned what a White ermine moth caterpillar looks like!

I think it's a Reed Dagger Simyra albovenosa. |
