I usually have the policy that I put on blinkers when I am in the garden. I look straight ahead at the area that needs the most attention and try to avoid looking even slightly sideways to prevent me being sidetracked by one of the other million areas that need weeding etc. Sometimes I stray a little though and yesterday I was silly enough to look up - and discovered a hairy delight! After a bit of research it appears that it is the caterpillar of the Giant Japanese Silkworm. It is definitely giant and I guess hairy could also be interpreted as silky....whatever it is it is interesting from a distance, but I'm not keen to get too close.
I'm hoping that it just stays in the tree and doesn't have lots and lots of friends who like dropping down on unsuspecting people who happen to be wandering underneath them!
