Do they come bubble-wrapped as in the photo, Paul?

These two beauties have been on the living room wall all evening. Luckily, the household member`s are all away at the present time, so I can enjoy. I shall be putting them outside tonight before I retire, though they will be back again. Must have been one of the parent`s in here last week. These two above are mere babies. Back to this thread though, we have had a number of very large spider`s in the place the past few month`s, as opposed to caterpillar`s.
Tell them that I came, and no one answered.

Thank you Peter. It`s the anaglypta that the spider`s like I`ve discovered, as opposed to some of the more garish patterned wallpaper`s used these days. They`re attracted by the neutral colour`s of Dulux emulsion paint. Incidently, I forgot all about them, and they`ve disappeared somewhere`s overnight.

Jeane, I thought you`d love those spider`s, or is it those hairy legs?

Paul, I can't claim credit for the ID but Mandy thinks it's a larva of the Turnip Sawfly. Pic:

Have you got rapeseed near your house? Apparantly they are a bit of a pest:
