Black Caterpillar with Spikes and Red Bands: What is it?
Did you find a black fuzzy caterpillar? Does it look like this? If so, you might have a giant leopard moth caterpillar, also known as a great leopard moth or an eyed tiger moth (scientific name: Hypercompe scribonia). Take a look at the other pictures too, and you'll know for sure.
Caterpillar Description: The giant leopard moth caterpillar has black spikes (which are variously described as hairy, bristled, fuzzy, spiky, furry, or woolly) with red or orange bands around its body. Some think it looks like a woolly black bear.

Ragwort and the Cinnabar Moth go together
The pretty red and black Cinnabar Moth (Tyria jacobaea) is often thought to be a butterfly because of its bright colours and because it flies about in the warm summer sunshine. It is a moth though, and depends for its survival on the Ragwort species on which its caterpillars feed.
