Females tend to be grey/brown with larger forewings and lacking the hairy antenae of the males. We can tell this is a younger caterpillar by the bright orange bands running along the body.

The variety of wildlife here is incredible. I do enjoy seeing these cormorants take off. It’s quite a feat in itself!
