Cethosia cyane
Yellow and red caterpillar, about 10 cm long with HUGE spikes. It looked like it was about to burst out of its tight skin.
Our garden Phuket, Thailand, near Rubbertree's and Jungle.
Fantastic looking caterpillar. In 5.5 years of living in that house, this is the only one I saw.

Thanks Ashosh you got me on the right track. Its a Leopard Lacewing Caterpillar!
I have never been able to find out what butterfly came out of it!
Some Longwing butterflies have such type caterpillars.
