Caterpillar

Can anyone tell me what sort of caterpillar this is, please. It is on a blueberry bush.
Thanks very much.

Could be a tussock moth caterpillar.  Have a look at this link - probably rusty or white marked tussock moth

Vapourer Moth: https://butterfly-conservation.org/moths/vapourer

I'd suggest as it apparently has a wide range of food plants that you move it from anything you do like to something you don't!

A bit more here - actually,  a rather interesting critter. https://breedingbutterflies.com/orgyia-antiqua-vapourer-moth/

Thanks very much to both of you. It's now in a large jar with plenty to eat (judging by what is coming out!). Maybe I can see what it turns into!!

My money is on Vapourer Moth too...

Well, the rusty tussock moth is aka vapourer so chances are your money is safe Saddad.

On the subject of Caterpillars I saw this newsflash on my browser this morning.

OK I think it is different from the above variety but it does make you think!
