I saw the attached caterpillar last Saturday 5th October . I was in mid France just south of Poitier, it was crawling across a gravel path. It was almost luminous green and yellow, are you able to identify the species

Hi Doug,
Thanks to UK Moths, we have identified your Tussock Moth Caterpillar as a Pale Tussock Moth Caterpillar, Calliteara pudibunda. Home brewers take note: it is a pest on Hops.
