I took a picture of a rose yesterday, and when I downloaded if noticed a caterpillar almost out of sight
Had a look earlier and it was still there, but in an awkward place but managed a couple of not too good pics
Anyone know what it is ?

Looks very similar to the "Rusty Tussock Moth" that Paul Iddon has posted.
 
Cheers guys :)
 
Brown-tail moth and not a nice species Ingrid.

Thanks Alby, it is the only only one I have seen and was gone when I went back about an hour later

It looks like Euproctis chrysorrhoea, the Brown Tail to me. The hairs are very irritant if I am correct.

I can see the "neck" now I'm at the computer. Looks like your ID Adrian is the right one. Looking now I can't see the shaving brushes on i'ts back.

Paul.
