Lerina incarnata
Crimson-bodied Lichen Moth Caterpillar. Golden wooly caterpillar. There were a dozen in the same plant (milkweed?). They were eating all the leaves of the plant leaving just empty branches (pic No,.4). Later I noticed that these caterpillars were always in the same plant. About 6 cm long.
