Description
I found this caterpillar of the Brown Tailed Moth (Euproctis Chrysorrhoea) and took some shots, I now find it can be a bit of a pest as some people can get a rash or cough from it as the hairs are an irritant.
It seems to be a major pest as it can decimate trees and shrubs,fortunately even after handling it I am still around to tell the tail, it should not be confused with the Lackey moth caterpillar as these have blue stripes down the sides and are not dangerous.

Great information to go with this awesome capture. I know I am one of the people who can't handle them. Still, they are lovely as your photo shows.
