Thanks James!
Hi Tukup and Saturniidae. Thanks for all your input. I have posted it in iNaturalist and added it to a local project in the hope someone knows more. So far no luck.
I have never seen any other color variant here on the island before so not so sure about this ID.
Never seen it before. My garden is producing some WOW moments! Thanks Tukup!
Thank you very much for your lovely words SukanyaDatta, Tukup, Joseph CHIEF REDEARTH, Leuba Ridgway and AntónioGinjaGinja.
And thank you Earthworm cocoon :-) All credit to you!

Thank you Rangers!
Thanks also Saturniidae27 and ornithoptera80.

Hi Leuba Ridgway
Thank you and your welcome!
Not to rub it in but actually 4 of these were seen in our garden in different sizes!
I only saw two myself of which one actually popped when I gently picked it up and I quickly put it back in the soil. That one was a much smaller one then this one. I had never seen one before, so seeing 4 in our garden must mean that the conditions in our soil are ideal for them? Keep looking!
Hi Tukup thank you!
YAY. Thank you Mark for the nomination. I am very honored!
Thank you Neil Ross and Mark Ridgeway.
The world is an amazing place!
