Sounds like the Small Tortoiseshell (Aglais urticae), they lay their
eggs on nettles, the last 4 years I have left clumps of nettles when I
have seen the catapillars on them, but within a few days the birds
have cleared them, this year if we get any I will net them to keep the
birds off.

Or peacock. Black with bits sticking out. Can't see the pic - even when I log in to facebook, it says "content not available"

Does that link work?

(don't know why I couldn't see the share with public link the other
day but knowing facebook it wasn't there...)

Didn't get to take a better pic. Camera needs batterys charging and I
can't find the charger.

Wow!

Black caterpillars on nettle come down to peacock, small tortoisehell and red admiral. Both the small tortoiseshell and the peacock live together in a communal web until their final moult.

Thanks for the pic - that's taught me something new.
