Caterpillars - The Drinker Moth Caterpillar

First seen on Wednesday 24th June 2020 at Holy Island

This caterpillar is the larval stage of the Drinker Moth (which I've not seen yet). The drinker moth is named after the caterpillar's habit of drinking from water droplets on leaves. The drinker moth is in the family of Eggar moths, which are dull brown, large bodied moths.
