Spectacular caterpillar Yassar! Next time you come to Costa we'll go spotting!
Thanks folks! ID updated. It was a great encounter. We found it crawling on my back and set it down on the bench to photograph with my phone.
Popular spotting! Hehe... I would like to say that I am not overly confident on my suggestion.
