What caterpillar???

[Jackaroo]

Are these cinnabars or fox moth caterpillars? There were loads of cinnabars on site but these look too hairy.





Thanks, in anticipation

I'd say Fox Moth, but wait for other opinions, I'm no expert.

Regards, Audrey.

Thanks Audrey, I'd already decided it's too 'fuzzy' for cinnabar but fox moth is just a guess on my part. As you (modestly) say, will wait for wiser council.

Cheers, Jack.

Yes, this is a Fox Moth Caterpillar.

Compare with this one in the Gallery, taken by Wild Member:

Thanks Deb. I can happily label it as such. This dredging through Summer's laid aside snaps is time consuming. I looked at the time 5 minutes ago and it was only 11 am lmao.

I know, you can spend loads of time on cataloguing tasks. Not a bad thing to save for a cold winter's afternoon though.

I'm on the last day of my last weeks holiday for the year and I'm sitting sifting photos, what a sad old xexexexexexexe. lol
