Yep it was really cute.

The pics don't do it justice, it was like a hairy toothbrush :)

Pale tussock Calliteara pudibunda is the closest match I can find (Collins guide to the insects of Britain & western Europe).

Thanks for posting, I'd tried to explain what this little fella looked like as my shots were of a blur.

He certainly was a pleasent addition to the course!

I showed the picture to a moth expert and he confirmed, it is a pale tussock.
Well done Tom..............
