Got loads of these on our rose bush - evil looking little bastards with mohicans and hairy arms. Anyone know what they'll hatch into and should I be scared?

There's a wrens nest 2 yards away so they're taking a risk - or could these nack a wren?

Oak Moth ??

No they look exactly the same as that vapourer moth.

Learnt something today. I hadn't realised that flightless moths existed. Those females are like female Jabba the Hutt, just waiting there for some action.

I thought you were talking about me for a minute there

Hahahah - no... you look nothing like Jabba the Hutt

It's normal for them to be on top leaf. However, you must be careful so that it doesn't touch your skin. It might be poisonous.

Until the bastard caterpillars got at them.

Now it's a thorny issue.
