Moth Caterpillar

A bit similar to the one we saw in Swaziland...

I would guess the attachments are abnormal. It just seems too asymmetrical to be a natural part of the caterpillars body. I can tell from comparing the photos that the caterpillar is moving, though. Is it normal for caterpillars to eat dead leaves like this?

Belated congratulations Nuwan! What a spectacular spotting it is :)

Thank you very much Yasser & everyone..
@Keith, this caterpillar is very healthy, i think it is mimicking the fruits of the feeding plant which is very much like this http://saturn.strandls.com/biodiv/data/d...

Amazing spotting!congratulations Nuwan!

Nuwan, did you witness this caterpillar actually feeding and moving about? The garish "attachments" aside, it appears to show several indications of morbidity.

Very cool series - congratulations!
