Malacosoma neustria
fuzzy little critter, thoroughly determined to make capturing his/her image a massive challenge.
Today goes on the list of 'Days I wish I had taken my camera with me', taking photos with iPhone in brilliant sunlight is difficult!

Looked this up in our insect book, its a Lackey ( Malacosoma neustria ).
The iphone camera isn't too bad, but near impossible to see what you're doing in bright sun, doesn't focus fast enough
Looks like the Eastern Tent Caterpillars we have in the United States. It might be in the same family, Arctiidae.
Wow, you shot those with an iPhone?! I think it's probably because the camera on my phone is so terrible that I'm astounded. This is a cute and colourful little guy, I like him :)
tent moth catepillar?
It appears the challenge was met--very nice photo.
