Thanks everyone! @ Leuba - It does look like a Limacodid, not sure which one. I can't find a match online. The trek was great. I didn't see as much wildlife as I had hoped but enjoyed hiking through the forest and sleeping in small huts in banana and tea plantations. I felt very safe. I had a guide with me but even still, this wasn't a dangerous area.
