Help identifying hairy caterpillar

[Scelestus]

Hello.

This is the biggest (approx 3cm (ish)) of about half a dozen of these, all feeding on broad bean plants. Would love to know what it is.

Many thanks.

Ps. Apologies for pic as avatar - was not sure how to upload pic so if someone can point me in the right way I will do it properly (hangs head in shame)

Pic is small but it looks like a Vapourer Moth larva.

Well thats a new way! - it's The Vapourer Orgyia antiqua

If you want to upload a bigger picture try this: Wild About Britain Images Upload

and select "image library".

Many thanks both.

Big thanks to you both from the owner of the broad beans
