    caterpillar identification

    Got home to find this little fury critter on the door step.

    Any idea what it is/will grow into?

    Looks like a White Stemmed Gum Moth but I leave it to some expert in the forum.

    Yep agree a gum moth. Adults can grow to 6" wingspan. Look out for those red bristles they can sting, even after they are dead (and preserved in alcohol!)

    Could be correct there, we used to find them on gum/box trees. They have a nest up in the tree like green tree ants and when they move they are nose to tail in a long line. We used to call them itchy grubs because that is what happened if you touched one or disturbed their nest.

    I looked right through a Hastings Deering catalogue and couldn't find anything on it.

    Try West Track.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    But it is a low track type, not one of those hi drive units.
