Just found this on my raspberries???? I have never seen one like this before - I think it may be a moth caterpillar but I am not very knowledgeable on these so if anyone could identify it for me I would be grateful - thanks
I had one of these in my garden last Sunday - it was 5 inches long crawling along the fence. We decided to launch it over the hedge after reading it gives you a painful rash:/
Thanks all, I looked up Vapourer moth, and it definitely ws on of those, so glad I did not touch it, and when i looked closer at my soft fruit bed, i found more in the gooseberry bush- so will definitely leave them alone as they are doing no harm.

Google for a caterpillar site. There are several.
