Caterpillars - The White Ermine Moth

⇨

First seen on Wednesday 20th September 2017 at Croome

The White Ermine Moth as the name suggests, has white wings with black spots, like the heraldic ermine colour - the winter coat of a stoat. It is a night flying moth, so unlikely to be seen during a visit to Croome. The caterpillars feed on many plants, but especially on nettles (where this one was found).
