Saw this little beauty fly across the lane and managed to grab a dodgy snap of it when it landed.

Those Moths appeared around my local Venue about 3 years ago. Thousands of them create Webs in the trees and the caterpillars get into everything.

Can't remember when i see one of those last.
Definitely a big decline in moths and butterflies these days, very noticeable.

Regards

You may well class it as dodgy Dave, however I quite like the photo.

Last couple of weeks our hedgerows around me are turning into a hammer house of horrors set.
Certainly a bumper year.

What are those caterpillars?

Thousands of them Dave.
They are almost on every hedge around here. Some that started earlier cover and have stripped 60 foot of hedge.

I've seen that in the past. Any idea what they turn into?

They are I think Ermine Moth Caterpillars. Not sure if there the same as the one you spotted or are spindle ermine,
Either way will certainly help the Bat population once they emerge
