I'll second that! They are what the heading says 'nasty things'

Gareth your lawn must me really something if you stoop to prune it rather than run a mower over it as I do!
Good sharp shots, though. (Isn't the light good, stong and even?)

Andrew

Stoop? I had visions of Gareth pruning his 3 foot high grass

In English Huge! but really about an inch, I still feel a sore spot, they must be like our stinging tree (true) and leave hairs in the skin.

Good pictures Don,
I love seeing all these coloured caterpillars.
A quick bit of web search and I found this Which prolaims it to be a Cup Moth Larva.
Not poisenous, but you may want to take the day off just in case

Thanks Paul, but to late I went to work. There are certainly plenty of that type of butterfly around right now.
C&C welcome.

Lovely shots but it makes my skin itch just looking at them!
If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.
