Arctiidae
This worm had long thin hairs. I was about 3 - 4 cm long eating away at a stem of wild grass.
Grass growing on sand dunes 2km away from the ocean.
Many species retain distasteful or poisonous chemicals acquired from their host plants.
Lat: -34.13, Long: 18.42

Could I add this spotting to the Moth Week mission?
