| | | Large caterpillar for ID please :-)
I rescued this caterpillar from off the path on Kinder Scout today and would love to know what he/she will be when he/she grows up! 
I'm sooo glad I saw it before it got squished!  
Thanks,
Tracey  P.S. To help with ID and for those that don't know, Kinder Scout is a peat moorland plateau covered with heather, cotton grass and other moorland plants.

I'm pretty sure they feed on heather, so you might see more |
