Following my post last week about a pallid cuckoo feeding on caterpillars a few people commented on the type of caterillar involved. This morning I came across some of them and was able to get a couple of images (see attached). Hopefully they will enable a positive ID of the hairy beasts. I would estimate they were closer to 5cm in length rather than 3cm. I didn't actually see one emerge from the hole but it seems likely.
