    Looks a bti like a the rare Privet Hawk Moth caterpillar, but I'm not sure Dai. Perhaps someone else will have a better idea.

    No, I`m afraid not. Have found out it`s Melachra persicariae, Dot Moth. Have found a brilliant identification site run by the OU.:gnthb: www.ispot.org.uk Thank you all the same, both.
