euploea core corinna
An orange caterpillar with large black projections make this insect look fearful and intimidating. Many danaids feed on toxic leaves such as oleander and asclepsia providing the benefit of inheriting the same toxicity against predators.
This single larva was found on a pot-planted desert rose. Adenium obesum

My trip to Brisbane got postponed for six weeks because of the Cairn visit.
Nice spotting, Martin. Great pics too.
