I found this wee guy this morning. I would appreciate if anyone can tell me what it is?

Lovely captures Bob,
Suspect it's a Buff Ermine moth caterpillar, Spilosoma luteum. I found something very similar in leaf litter about a week ago and got it ID'd

I think that may be the wrong face colour for a buff ermine. Here's one of mine which I identified as a ruby tiger moth - but I don't have a shot which shows the face...

I'm not saying this is a definite ID for yours, just one to consider!
