Light Crimson Underwing

Agree with Catocala promissa. Nice one! And welcome to Project Noah!

I would agree with Antonio on thus one, it is very like the Light Crimson Underwing which has previously been reported frm that area. May I suggest thay you add this to the Moths of the World Mission, which is run by our very own Jacob Gorneau who started with us as a teenager and has become our representative for the American run Natioal Moth Week which has become global and iccurs in the next few weeks, read more about this elsewhere on thus site. Moths are still a very much inderstudied species, from my own experiences in Spain there wer about 4500 identified species there and possibly as many again still waiting to be identified, partly due to the very tiny size of some specimens making them very difficult to even see. When examining moths and carerpillars it is worth noting the sizes where possible,I often carry a small ruler for this purpose.

Hello Chris69 and Welcome to the Project Noah community! I think it's a Catocala promissa caterpillar see the link and check :-) https://www.google.com/search?sa=X&biw=1366&bih=639&q=Catocala%20promissa%20caterpillar&tbm=isch&source=lnms&ved=2ahUKEwjJh-eo-MviAhUSxYUKHezJAGIQsAR6BAgGEAE&cshid=1559517962631136&fbclid=IwAR3l-OtOQCiaPSrTR_aPZbRl0X-NjjvPuBBtBGzSWq7o1hm_WIM-yCqOQq8 We hope you like the website as much as we do. There are many aspects to the site and community. The best way to get started is to read the FAQs at http://www.projectnoah.org/faq where you can find all the tips, advice and "rules" of Project Noah. You, like the rest of the community, will be able to suggest IDs for species that you know (but that have not been identified), and make useful or encouraging comments on other users' spottings (and they on yours). There are also "missions" you can join and add spottings to. See http://www.projectnoah.org/missions . A mission you should join is the https://www.projectnoah.org/missions/2194946003 to chose the "best wildlife photo of 2019",only the spottings added to that mission are eligible.Note that most missions are "local". Be sure not to add a spotting to a mission that was outside of mission boundaries or theme :) Each mission has a map you may consult showing its range. We also maintain a blog archive http://blog.projectnoah.org/ where we have posted previous articles from specialists from different geographical areas and categories of spottings, as well as wildlife "adventures". So enjoy yourself, share, communicate, learn. See you around :)

Hi Chris and welcome to Project Noah. I am not familiar with this caterpillar but we have many expert users here who can probably help. Being in the UK it may not be identical to one in the USA but could well be the same family. I have also requested help for you via our Project Noah Worldwide Facebook page which you may request to join: https://www.facebook.com/groups/projectnoahworldwide/
