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.

Was thinking salmon par myself, because of the circular shapes on its flanks!

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

Agree with Brown Trout - plenty of them in that stretch of the Dodder too.

And one of them enjoying a snack afterwards, a pear I left for them.
