    Spotted this caterpillar in Cabilla Woods (Cornwall) in May, and despite searching in books and on the net, I haven't yet found out what it is! Anyone know please? It was on foxglove. (Thought maybe a hawkmoth as quite large...) Thanks!

    British Wildlife Magazine - any subscribers with old issues?

    Am very interested in ordering back issues (Vol 18 no 6 & Vol 19 no 1) which have articles on Longhorn Beetles (Part 1 and Part 2 respectively).
