caterpillar fest weekend

Query ?



Broughton Bay dunes/coastal walk.
top = query, very fluffy and fats moving, couldn't get decent photo
2nd =  Lackey, plenty of these
3rd down = thought Buff Tip but obviously not ???
last = query.

also plenty of Drinker moth caterpillars.

    I'm not great with caterpillars, but the top one looks like Garden Tiger, I'm not sure what is wrong with Buff-tip for the third, and the bottom one looks like a Drinker.

    I think the 3rd one is also a Lackey. Big web suggests this species, and wrong time of year for Buff-tip?

    Agree with Dave on the others.

    We also had some nice Latticed Heath on the wing at Twlc Point. To be fair to Emma she called Drinker at the time we found the bottom one!
