I always go around when it's catterpillar time and collect them up. They get thrown over the fence, it's ok we dont have neighbours at the back.

Have a good one
Our field is full of these beautiful Monarch caterpillars which makes me very happy. We have tons of milk weed which these chubba wubbas love. I'm actually not sure if that is the front or back end. It's what was facing me so it's what I got a photo of....ha ha.

This was one of a number feeding on a ceanosis in a neighbour's garden. The adult male of the species is easily recognisable by their rich reddish brown forewings. The females are virtually wingless and are unable to fly and remain close to the papal cocoon. They are found throughout Europe, temperate Asia, Siberia and the USA. As with most hairy caterpillars, the bristles are connected to venomous glands and function as a defensive barrier to would-be predators and cause irritation to the skin. They feed on the foliage of various trees and shrubs.

Normally found in their hundreds munching away on yellow-flowered ragwort, and their bold black-and-gold stripes make them easy to identify.
This year although there were hundreds of Ragwort plants only a few had caterpillars.
THANK YOU for your visits, comments and favorites
Wow, I'm really glad to make this guy's acquaintance for the first time, especially because it will become my favorite Skipper butterfly... the Long-tailed Skipper, with that gorgeous iridescent turquoise back between it's wings! This caterpillar stage is hardly a wallflower in it's own right!

Last year a horde of small caterpillars quickly destroyed around 50% of a box hedge which Ray had planted and lovingly nurtured.
This year their offspring from the webby structures they built on the leaves of the remaining hedge are hatching out and starting to chomp away at it.
Numerous remedies have failed to tackle them - anyone have any ideas?
The only creature (that we can catch), so far, that I have had to say no to Evan holding due to the potential rash or irritation it can cause.
I think it's possibly a Brown Tail Caterpillar but please correct me if I'm wrong.
Standhisround and Jeff have probably correctly identified him as a Knot Grass Caterpillar
