Caterpillar

[itchyhives]

Can anyone help me identify this caterpillar, watched him/her crawl past my foot whilst having a cuppa at home. Quite large in size I thought, approx 2 Inches long and fairly fat.

Thanks

It looks like a Drinker moth Euthrix potatoria.

At that size it may be looking fir somewhere to pupate.

It spins up in grass stalks (Large) and will then emerge in a month or so.
