Dear Gerado,
I am from the Tasmanian Museum & Art Gallery and we are creating a Lucid key to identify caterpillars to family. I would love to use your brilliant image of this dalcerid larva to illustrate the jelly-like tubercles that are diagnostic of this family. Full photo credit will be included of course. The key will be available free for anyone to access and use. I can be contacted at di.moyle@tmag.tas.gov.au
Many thanks and all the best,
Di
