Watsonalla cultraria - Barred Hook-tip
The larva of this macro moth has finished feeding on Beech leaves and is now spinning a silken cocoon in which is will pupate for the winter. Hopefully, the adult moth will emerge next May.
This caterpillar was reared from eggs laid by a female found by Dave Maunder in Buckinghamshire in September.
