Found this little fella (around 2 cm long) on my fence post. I think the head is on the right hand side as this part was moving around.
I did some research and am pretty certain this is the larvae of a Mottled Cup Moth. I thought it was pretty boldly sitting out in the open until I read that it's coloured hairs STING!
The adult is brown and non distinctive, in stark contrast to its larvae.
