Thanks Mark who found out what it is
Found this mini-beast climbing trying to climb up the side of the bird bath yesterday so there was great excitement! It was ‘saved’ from drowning and put on the path (which looks mountainous here) for a photograph.It was very lively! I haven’t seen a caterpillar all summer and I know this one is out of season. But I don’t know what it is.I would love to know…..? Took six shots. This shot turned out to be the best and is worth pressing to see more (amazing) detail. About 4 cms

He or she is a colorful little creature. Please keep it alive so it can become a butterfly.

Check out this page http://www.wildlifeinsight.com/Insight/?page_id=6679 and go right to the bottom I’m sure it’s one of those bottom four except the one at the very bottom which is green. But it gives descriptions and because you saw the real thing you’ll be able to judge better than what I can from the photo. It looks like it’s going to be a moth of some kind
