Sounds like tornado sirens are going off in the background, great moment to record a caterpillar

[HappyHag]

@xCyberFang Tornado sirens, in lil old Eastbourne? Well, with climate change coming, who knows what might happen...

I find caterpillars like that on Ceanothus bushes occasionally. Seems to me they turn into generic little brown moths, at least the ones around my place do! :D Nice close-up video work!

[HappyHag]

Well, this one was very near a ceanothus bush! It's a vapourer moth. After being such a showy caterpillar, I suppose becoming a moth is bound to be an anticlimax in terms of looks.

[HappyHag]

I discovered it's a vapourer moth caterpillar!
