Stainland. First Caterpiller this year
I've seen my first moth caterpillar of the year the year, just now. It's an Angle Shades. It's sheltering on the pointing right, by the door. It has it's head tucked into where two strips of pointing meet. All the moths I've had here, put their heads into any small depression with a slight overhang, in wild weather. They're protecting their brain, obviously.

A nice find Gordon.
Yes David, I was pleased. I read that you can find the cats at any time. Even so, I was quite surprised to find it, especially after all the frosts.
They also eat all sorts of plant. You're off the mark unlike me. Keep it up!
