Wow! Incredible color this caterpillar!
Thanks Gerardo!. I think this caterpillar is pink because is feeding on pink flowers. The question here is if they feed on a different plant they take those colors also.
Wow very cool never see a pink one :)
Wow! The second shot are awesome, whit a flower!!!
Looks like a made up cartoon made from strawberry jello. What a catch! <3
mmm, you are totally right Cindy, your pictures looks very similar to mine. Could be even the same specie.
I agree with martinl on the Lycaenid suggestion. I have a somewhat similar spotting http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/710...
Wow, I've never seen anything like this before!
Increible
Nice. This looks like the larva of a lycaenid (Blues) butterfly. I suspect it imitates the color of the flowers (pic#2) that it was feeding on when it was smaller. I have no local knowledge to ID more closely.
