Saw lots of this same caterpillar on the same tree and strangely, all of them have the swollen bulb behind their heads.

Thanks, @Gilma :)
I had actually thought they were being parasited.
Strange but beautiful caterpillars, AlbertKang.
You are welcome Albert. :)
Thanks for the info and ID, @ChiefRedEarth :)
Nice spotting! Hi Albert I think this is Nolid moth caterpillar, and the ball like portion is just to lure its predators and its on the rear side. I have one in my spotting collection.
