This gross little thing has come home with me from the reserve and has been crawling around in my T shirt since
Any one know what it is? It's about one inch long
No idea what sort, I'm afraid, but it is rather beautiful. I suspect that if it were goign to do you any harm you would have been itching fairly quickly. You are there, aren't you... haven't fallen face first over your keyboard
No. But have been iching since
Great photo, Beryl!
Haven't a clue what it is, but check here - though you may need to magnify the page to see the caterpillars clearly!

(Hope the itch has gone today!)
Thanks Catherine.
I've ordered a caterpillar book, but as it is out of print, I'm not sure when it'll arrive.
That's really handy
Let me know the title as I woud like a book on Caterpillars
No point, it's out of print, had to order it from a French site, as I couldn't find it anywhere.
The Colour Identification Guide to Caterpillars of the British Isles
I was thinking that when you said it was out of ptint I was wondering where you ad ordered it from
here is a good site But mine isn't there

Yes, looked on the other site as well, it's there, but nobody has identified it.
No one can so far.
Wish I had though of photographing it by my thumb. It was as roughly long as my thumb nail which id an inch and very slim
Almost certainly a Moth caterpillar, but which one?
I have been searching high and low can't find it on any site. Must have picked it up at Bowling Green Marsh . R+dropped from a bush into my hair. i remember thinking it was a leaf when I brushed it off. I was her a home and that is when it went down my neck
I have been itching ever since
Probably a micro moth
It's a.................Depressaria daucella
