Cinnabar caterpillar

I had a very pleasant catch up with 3 friends this morning - well it stretched well into the afternoon. I have attached a couple of flowers I took in her garden as extras.
After I got home I went for a walk down on the beach and across the dunes. There were lots and lots of playful gatekeeper butterflies flitting around. I saw Cinnabar caterpillars  a couple of days ago but I wasn't pleased with the images so I went back today and it took me ages to find them again but I persevered and I'm glad I did.
