Vapourer moth. There was a thread on this a few days ago, but your pics are much better.
He's a hairy little critter! Cute, and such deep autumn colours!
Oh dear .... What a handsome chap - but having said that, would not want him anywhere near my produce ! :o ::) ;)
:) Looks like you are right Robert, missed the thread a little while back I think. Well at least I know now. :)
Excellent pics, Marley!! I had those sweethearts too, but my pics too bad to post!! Just big blurrr. Thought I had some exotic speices in the garden......... Oh well!! Lottie ;D
;D I know what you mean lottie I thought it was something exotic as well, got quite excited for a while. :) Did wonder why I've never seen one before.  I have now set it free again & was last seen happily munching away on the birch tree. Good luck to it now. :) :)
