Emperor Moth caterpillar

I had this caterpillar crawling along the floor of my bivvy, and so I didn't kill it I picked it up and took the photo.

It is an Emperor moth caterpillar and while not rare rare are not particularly widespread.

An example of what happens when you leave your boilies inside your bivvy, a visit from Rattus Norvegicus! I seen the thing quite a few times during the day and so deliberately brought the bag inside my bivvy as I thought it wouldn't come in. I'll be storing them in some strong tupperware boxes from now on!
