Cornish caterpillar for ID

[pete76]

Not the greatest picture unfortunately, just a snapshot as it sped across the path. Looked all through my book without any success. From Godrevy, North Cornwall.



Thanks for the help!

Looks similar to one I had ID'd as the caterpillar of the Oak Eggar moth.

I believe I have tracked down your caterpillar as that of a different moth, the Knot Grass Acronicta rumicis. There are four images in the Gallery, of which this is one from 2007:

Yeah, Knot Grass

Thanks all for the ID.
