Caterpillars - The Large Yellow Underwing Moth Caterpillar

First seen on Wednesday 19th May 2021 at Druridge Pools

This is a rather dull example of a Large Yellow Underwing Moth caterpillar. They are usually a bit paler and the dark/pale streaks stand out more. The moth is also a rather mottled brown, but it does have a very bright orange/yellow underwing, which is sadly not always visible when it is at rest. It is a night flying moth
