The two dorsal coloured glands on the penultimate segments put it in Lymantriinae, but it is not one that I recognise.
Can you take it into protective custody and rear it to get the adult moth?

Thanks for the comments Don. It was in the same location this morning, but I hadn't read the above comments then. I'll see if it is still around when I next visit the ANBG. Tim
