    in the house last night , about 2 inches long, yellow and Black stripes and long fine hairs.

    took it outside into the garden.

    looks pretty mean.

    I’d check to see if you are missing 4 strawberries.

    If so, go shopping.

    Saturday is going to cost you big time.

    If it looks like this, be very afraid.

    Reminds me of when I was at a mine in Borneo, all the feral cats hat no tails so we asked the local guide, he said they must have come like that from the factory because nobody had ordered them

    Cinnabar moth, daytime flyer, caterpillars feed on ragwred, hence the warning colours, ‘cos ragweed is toxic, so they taste foul.

    Yup, cinnabar moth. Started coming out a month or two ago. Happily strips the leaves from Ragwort, which is fine by me.

    My son is doing his best to make them extinct by collecting them in a jar.

    We have a lot of dead caterpillars. Turns out you need to feed living things.

    Doesn’t look bright enough and the rings aren’t consistent like a cinnabar.

    Oh, there’s a picture! Missed that 😮

    I retract my statement. That’s definitely not a cinnabar!

    Could be a Dust Cap Moth judging by later photos.
