Bedfordshire Garden - Scarlet Tiger Moth Caterpillars

On 30 June 2016 I posted photographs of a Scarlett Tiger Moth on my house wall.  Included in the blog was a poor photo of its caterpillar taken some weeks earlier.

 

With the recent exceptional hot weather looking at small town garden, I noticed 3 similar caterpillars feeding on 'Forget Me Not', giving me an opportunity to get some decent photos off this beautiful caterpillar.  Hopefully they will survive to become beautiful moths.

A slightly hairy caterpillar - I don't think that this is of the Emperor Moth, a number of which we saw flying quickly across the moor from the path.
