That's a, I say that's a chicken, boy!
Today, as I was looking out of my kitchen window, I noticed a small caterpillar hanging by a silken thread from a windchime which is screwed to the wooden batten above the window.
It was definately a caterpillar, not a coccoon or what have you, but whilst I appreciate that it may not be a caterpillar of the lepidopterae, it still puzzled me what it was doing wriggling about in late November.
It was about 1cm long, very similar to the winter moth 'loopers' we see in late spring/early summer, only perhaps a little duller in colour.
Any ideas?
