Pale Tussock Moth Caterpillar

I found this wonderful caterpillar on the road it had only just escaped the hedge trimmimg machine, so I put it in a safe place away from the road and took its picture. I knew it was a Pale Tussock Moth as way back in 1980 I had done a study of one I found then also in October but later on the 30th which seems quite late for a caterpillar to be about. They look a bit like tooth brushes including the spike for cleaning in between!
