Any idea what this hairy guy is? Sorry, the camera seems determined to give it a blue cast - something to do with the macro setting.

Perhaps this helps.
Possibly Ruby Tiger?

thanks for the excellent photo editing! You may well be right about the ruby tiger as they are common in my garden. According to Jim Porter's book, it should have a black head whereas this one had more of an orange head. But I don't know how much they vary.
Could it be a muslin moth?

Nor me. I guess it could be.
As for the editing. I only do basic stuff using the editing options available by opening the image with Microsoft Office 2010 (colour balance, brightness and contrast, etc.).

Thanks, Martin. That's a useful tip about editing in Office. It is actually easier than the system I have which I paid for!
Here is another one of the same beast.
