Large Caterpillar i.d. please
As you can see it is some 60-75mm long. It was on the headland near South Stack (Anglesey).
From the UK Safari guide I am guessing it's from the Oak eggar moth (which I have never heard of before). Thanks

It is indeed an Oak Eggar (I have actually seen one at South Stack before, so I can confirm they are there!).
