    Nice little creepy crawly . face to face. I can't Idntify it though.

    Tis looks likely to be the Jersay Tiger moth which is indigenous to the South West of UK

    The equipment I use is a Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. I also have a garden hide from which I take most of my pictures.

    Yep.It is one of the Tiger Moth caterpillars. I found them on the net
    I thought it was because the Jersey Tiger Moth habits the area where I found this one
