Three photos arranged two at the top and one below. The two at the top show a hand on which there are two caterpillars, shown from different angles to show each caterpillar as clearly as possible. On the thumb the caterpillar is dark-coloured with tufts of hairs down the back arranged almost like toothbrush bristles. On the hand the caterpillar is more orange-coloured. The final photo is the first caterpillar relocated to a plant where it is easier to see that some of its hair around the head forms horn-like structures.

Just relocated a couple of future moths from the raspberries. I was quite taken with the horned beast which appears to be a rusty tussock moth, while the other one is a ruby tiger.
