This one also occurs in the UK - Pale Tussock - Lymantriidae (Calliteara horsfieldii) Beware of those yellow hairs they will cause an itchy rash! The hairs are also present in the pupa and the adult moth.

Noctuidae, Lymantriinae, Orgyiini, Calliteara horsfieldii. You will probably find also Calliteara horsfeldii, but I think Horsfieldii is correct.
