Gnathothlibus erotus
This caterpillar was 5cm long with beautiful markings down its side. It was eating the leaves of a Bandicoot Berry plant (family Leeaceae). There were many black ants around the rear of the caterpillar.
Small pocket of suburban forest.
Adult can be seen here...... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/170...
I'm really not sure Lauren, I couldn't hang around too long, I was being near carried off by mosquitos!
Tricky. When I saw the thumbnail I thought the head was on the other side.
Nice spotting Leanne. The caterpillar can be brown or green.
