Plus some tiny yellow dots.Turquoise/blue eye. Tail, pale yellow with a dark band, then ending in orangey red. When I disturbed the branch it retracted it's red thoracic? legs and remained motionless (pic 4) until I moved away. there were also some nests with droppings on the same tree (pics 5 & 6) .

Hi Viv, as per the statement in the mission overview, the "Signs of Wildlife" mission excludes all organisms so this spotting has been removed from it.
It is, however, acceptable for the "Moths of the World" mission so I will add it to that for you.
