Not sure if this is the right place, but seemed the most likely!

Can anyone identify this caterpillar, purely for my interest? Found two of them hiding under a bin in my garden (SE England).

I think its a brown tail moth caterpillar, they are very itchy if you touch them.

I agree, Brown Tail moth. Don't touch them, they can cause a nasty rash.

Thanks! I thought they didn't look very cuddly...

Google for their foodplant, and put them nearby. But they may just be looking for a place to pupate.
