Wiki suggests it is called the 'hairy mary' caterpillar, but not the same as the famous HM of Hamish Imlach's Glaswegian song. A range of larger caterpillars (of large moths) are coming back in numbers including emperor gum moths, after
years of scarcity. I too saw a fantailed cuckoo deal with a c. 8 cm long hairy mary yesterday, with minimal bashing to remove a few hairs and then down in one.
