    Found this huge caterpillar. The coin beside it is a 2 euro. Anyone know what it might be? It was about twice as big as any other caterpillar I've seen before.

    Thanks for reply. I think it might be a bit hairier than the one in the link though.

    You get this on small brown trout also. I would have no hesitation in saying this is a brown trout.
