Emperor Moth larva (Saturnia pavonia).
An Emperor Moth larva that I spotted as I was walking home from my local patch on the Downs last Summer.
This is only the 3rd fully grown Emperor larva I've found although I have seen lots of them in the past before they get these spectacular colours and they are still living and feeding together in small masses and are much easier to find.
