Any ideas what this caterpilla is? Found it on an Oak tree this afternoon.

Looks almost like a cinnabar moth caterpillar but not enough yellow I don't think, and they tend to live on or very near ragwort as opposed to oak. Harvestman might know

I remember picking up a caterpillar which looked like that when I was a child, it threw up a purpley substance over my hand - I put it down quite quickly after that!
