Hairy Molly

Cheers Pete,
I think it is the caterpillar of a moth of some sort. We used to call them hairy mollies as kids. They used to be great for racing.

This is starting to sound a bit dodgy.

Could you please elaborate! :wink:
Nice close-up image.
Carl,
Basically racing hairy mollies involved making a number of lanes on the ground using stones, earth, cardboard or what ever was a hand. Putting the ‘competitors’ at one end and waiting to see which one crossed the finish line first. ‘Steerage’ and ‘guidance’ (poking them in the right direction) was often needed to get them to finish.

All 5 ran.
Result stands after a Stewards Enquiry. The jockey however has been suspended for excessive use of the whip. :lol:
