Hi Tess,

Thank you so much for coming back to me with what looks like a corrected identification.

Looking at the evidence you have provided, I am certainly convinced it is a Cabbage White..

(But I am not an expert on these matters... I just happened to see him in the trees!)

Best Wishes and a nice Sunday

Hello Peter

It seems we have a few Yellow and Black Catterpillars in the UK :))

This was where my ID thoughts on this critter being a Buff-tip Moth came from
