| | | Two caterpillars and a pupa for ID
Anybody know what this pretty caterpillar is? Found on brambles near a lake, Leicestershire.  
This one looks more difficult. Found below a hawthorne on upland in Leicestershire  
This last one was found on a teasel Leaf  |

The second looks like one of the Brown butterflies, maybe a Speckled Wood or Wall? Do you have any other shots?
The pupa looks like a nymphalid. |

This is the only other one I have. It doesn't seem to have the white stripe down the sides. I don't know if this helps much! |

Definitely a satyrid and I would say Speckled Wood.
