While i was Weeding & Tidying a Border 2day i found this Gorgeous Caterpillar :)

It was hard to take its Pic cos it moved so fast :) When itd finished Modeling 4 me I put it on some leafs where it would be safe & find another cosy Place :)

Very pretty and yes I too pick creatures up and show them to my grandchildren so they won't be frightened of creepy crawlies. Sorry I don't know what it will be but hopefully a very pretty butterfly or month. I just hope the weather stays nice so it can develop and delight you long enough for you to snap it in all it's glory! Love Sue x

It could be a type of sawfly,many of those are spotted. There are usually lots of those together though so hopefully not.
I hope someone knows :)
