Daphnus nerii
The caterpillars feed mainly on oleander (Nerium oleander) leaves, a highly toxic plant to which toxicity they are immune. They also may feed on most plants of the Apocynaceae family, such as Adenium obesum, and Tabernaemontana divaricata and Alstonia scholaris in India.

@cecihelper1. Thank you. It is not a worm. It is a thorn like thing when it is small and as it grows it becomes like the one above.
