| | | Some caterpillars for ID please I was walking in woodland nr Leith Hill in Surrey yesterday and found a signboard covered with hundreds of caterpillars and would appreciate some help with ID. The trees above the sign were oak and birch (the oak leaves were very eaten). I also saw the first sort of caterpillar (or virtually identical ones) on alder and hazel in the same area.
By far the commonest were these brownish loopers
I only saw one of this sort
Also I found these two stick like caterpillars on bushes at the side of a pond at Friday Street, Surrey
this one on sallow
and this one on hazel
Thanks for any help
