Syntomeida epilais
A bright orange caterpillar with tufts of long black hairs which in the adult stage is known as the Oleander Moth, aka the Polka dotted wasp moth, aka the Uncle Same Moth (as shown in the last photo).
Often found feeding on the Oleander shrubs and considered a pest because of the defoliation.
