I,m not too sure if this is a caterpillar that will turn into a Comma Butterfly.

And it is eating ragwort, its usual plant host. Worth looking for the cinnabar moths if you have seen the caterpillar - almost black with purple spots.
Cheers, Chris.

Thanks everyone, moths are something where I know very little of the subject.
