Woolly Bear

[Paul Iddon]

I think this is a Woolly Bear caterpillar - that would eventually pupate and emerge as the garden Tiger Moth.

The Mrs was trimming back the longer branches of the dogwood shrub in the front garden, and she called me out - having found spotted the caterpillar on the brick wall beneath the shrubs.
