Unknown Caterpillar

Does anyone know what this caterpillar is?  It was found on upland grassland above Kilchiaran.

  1. I think it's a Fox Moth caterpillar?

  3. Yes - that's one of the easier caterpillars to identify! You're likely to see them from now on into early October getting larger and larger - often wandering over the roads, too. They may then reappear in the spring before pupating.
