Caterpillars - The Drinker Moth Caterpillar

First seen on Monday 24th May 2021 at Druridge Pools

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.
