    This isn't great technically - leaf in the way, and too windy to photograph really, but this made me laugh

    Go on, I am cute really, aren't I?

    Vapourer moth caterpillar. Amazing things.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Hi , not in my garden, but just saw this on a plant label in local garden centre. Oh and I'm in the UK by the way . Looked like a 🦂 never seen anything like it.

    Thanks very much . Just googled it and it's a female , the thing at the back that I thought  was a 🦂  tail  :) is for laying her eggs.
