It's a Tussock Moths QoS, the really young caterpillars are lighter in colour.

That's brilliant! I'm really impressed too. Isn't there a "What is it" forum? I could do with one all to myself with the number of photos I take of 'things' I don't recognise. The people on here are really helpful. ThanksComment
