Jersey Tiger larva

Making a pleasant change from young Scarlet Tiger larvae which seem to be being recorded all over the place at the moment, this 15mm caterpillar of Jersey Tiger was found by torchlight here last night, close to the actinic light.  It was feeding on new growth of Comfrey Symphytum which pops up regularly in the damper spots of the garden.
