Thats the green "model" of Angleshades moth caterpillar above.
NB. About three weeks later (13/01/08) - found the brown "model" of the same species of caterpillar in the garden, crawling up our woodpecker post.
I'd like to say it is quite obviously mad, but to be honest, the woodpecker post is probably the safest place in the garden for it! No woodpecker has gone near it. Yet...

Also wanted to say a BIG thank you for your great comments about my site. I'm really glad you like it... hope I can keep it going in 2008!
No problems UE re: comments on your site. Best site all year!

I'm still at work (ssshhh) 'til 10pm, but never mind. I'll ring my fiancee very soon - so thats ok!
MERRY CHRISTMAS! to you and your family, and I hope 2008 brings you health and an even MORE exciting year on UE!
