Saturniid Caterpillar

Thanks for your comment bayucca and LuvjoyChoker!

Personally I would call this one Hylesia sp.. Unfortunately many of the Saturniid caterpillars looks very similar within the genus and there is not much infos about the caterpillar itself or the host plants available. You rarely will get a full lifecylce of these ones, unless they are "self-breeded". About the links: Same problem as with every site which is not moderated by experts. There are very little trustable resources available and even there you might find wrong IDs. You have to know the IDer or poster to judge the quality of the ID and I think Project Noah is not so bad as a resource. But we already have a bulk of quite knowledgable and trustable people here. Thanks for your inputs!

Ok. So it might be Hyesia sp afterall. But all the links provided by Bayucca are random posts and not from some peer reviewed website. not to mention that 3 of them are from projectoah site itself. and none of the links even gives the complete lifecycle. I'd be happy to see a complete lifecycle documentation to be satisfied.

I agree with Saturniidae, Hyesia sp. and looks really like Hylesia continua, quite a common Hylesia sp., but I am honestly wondering why we have such amount of Hylesia continua pictures and almost no other Hylesia sp.??

I do not question the ID in general, but I would be a little bit careful with this one.

Leonardo, could you please provide a link to some source for your id information? this seems more like a nymphaliid caterpillar to me.
