Lily Moth Caterpillar

Polytela gloriosae

Description:

Strikingly coloured red, orange, white and black. Basically a tube-like poop machine.

Habitat:

Spells death for lily leaves but spares the bulbs; so no lasting damage is done. This one and its siblings were spotted in my garden ( a little late this year I thought).
