Is it some species of the family Lasiocampidae? (-*
Lenght: 3-4 cm
Take a look at WS also!
____________
This is a Drinker Moth (Latin name: Philudoria/Euthrix potatoria; Estonian name: rohukedrik) caterpillar. Family: Lasiocampidae. The species gets its name from the caterpillars habit of drinking large droplets of rainwater or dew from the grass stems on which they feed. A large yellowish brown moth, it may be seen along road-side verges and in many grassy habitats. |

A little more DOF would have been nice, but the light was obviously bad. Nice colours, though.

Nigel.
