Excellent you find the ID i was very curios:)
Thank you, Gerardo. This may indeed be a Thosea sp.:)
Boy that maybe it
Great spot this looks to me like a thosea vetusta caterpillar the sting is very painful.

Hi Veronica! Please include this spotting as well to the mission http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1591.... THanks!
Thank you! Yes, Jellis, I do think this is a Limacodidae moth caterpillar, too. Those on flicker are good photos. I think this caterpillar is quite common here in the Philippines. Unfortunately, no one can come up with a definitely ID of this (yet).
Somewhere in this family Limacodidae.

Found this but is. Is this yours? Too bad there isn't any other one I saw. Did see a skinny caterpillar with long bristles. Total opposite of this
