ITS A MONSTER!!! well not exactly.

Quick lunch break and headed for my daily jaunt to the Lea Marsh area near all the Car Garages around Preston Docklands way. Mate Eric from work tagged along to show him the Whitethroat that I was sort of teasing by mimicking its call hahahaha. Anyway walked quite far saw quite a bit and then out of the corner of my eye I saw the mother of all Caterpillars!!!! Black, Orange, bristling with hairs… looked like something from the movie … I cant dam well remember the name AARRGGHHH!!!

Anyway fired off a few shots as suddenly got a strange interest in Moths and Butterflies (going be harder ID’ing instead of birds!!!!) and headed back to work to find out what the hell it was. After only 10 minutes there it was staring me in the face.. a Drinker Moth Caterpillar, quite common alledgly but first time I’ve seen one, 3 inches in length and weird looking!!!
