@brodudepants submitted: This lovely moth was demanding to get inside my house yesterday! We moved it to a nice protected bush before going back inside. I live in [removed] (pls remove location details) and have never seen such a stripey baby before!

Thank you for the ID and I hope this moth finds you well :)

A beautiful striped visitor! They are a white-lined sphinx, Hyles lineata :)

@potatokingkingofpotatoes submitted: Found this goopy baby in [removed] (please remove location). Never seen him before! Any ideas?

Sure, it's a forester moth in the subfamily Agaristinae. They're a type of noctuid. Probably this one is an eight-spotted forester moth. Adults have the same color scheme as the caterpillars!
