| | | Hello all!
I found this whilst trying to identify a beetle I've found in my Garden (which I'm trying to make as wildlife friendly as possible), and having had a brief brows around, I must say I'm really impressed by the depth of knowledge at friendly attitudes here.
I hope I may be able to contribute in some way, and that i don't annoy with too many "What the...is this?" type questions.
Actually, on that point, does anyone know of anything that was a small hairy worm like larva that is only 7 -10mm long, but has a very pronounced pair of horns? We found one in our bathroom about six weeks ago and so far I've drawn a blank. any suggestions would be warmly recieved... |

Wondering if it was a caterpillar but trying to find a guide to identifying them is a bit hit and miss.
Welcome to WAB, by the way |

Hello!
Sorry, I can't help with your question but a very warm welcome to WAB nonetheless.
Hopefully someone will come along and solve the identity of the mystery critter that found a home in your bathroom.

Hello dissedent, and welcome to WAB
Without a picture of the caterpillar it's very hard to identify it - in the least we would need to know the colour etc. As you said it's hairy, it could be something like a Vapourer Moth Caterpillar though. |
