Chance encounter.

Larvae of the Pale Tussock Moth.

_DSC2909-1

ISO 1000 1/160th @ f/11

 

The natural beauty of this caterpillar warrants it a place in my gallery, but what brought it to my attention was that it had the temerity to drop down the neck of my shirt whilst I was gardening ! I believe the identification to be correct , but I am no moth expert. If anyone can confirm / deny or identify I should be grateful. It was 3cm long and the spines were pale blue.
