Look a lot like those we have here in Ecuador, only hairier :-) I haven't been able to identify mine either. Perhaps you'll have better luck. Thanks for sharing Mel.

Great find. Here is an identical species found also in Madagascar, but has no ID. This is definitely some species of tiger moth caterpillar (Arctiidae) https://travel.mongabay.com/madagascar/i...

Wow. This mass of caterpillars pretty much looks like an animal!
