I was just going to post my findings: So cool! I googled "British caterpillar looks like green stick" and it looks like a peppered moth caterpillar (?). I've never heard of such a thing---does that sound familiar?
This Cornwall blog even posted a photo of one on October 4 (2013) www.cornwallwildlifetrust.org.uk/wildlife/wildlife_gardening/wildlife_garden_blog/wildlife_garden_blog_2013

ReplyDeleteI don't know - but isn't it well disguised!
ReplyDeleteTBH, I think it was bad form to put Brian up on an ID photo call without any other caterpillars in the line. Just saying
