A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Looked like a tiny piece of pine foliage until it started to walk! It was about half an inch long. I will try to post more photos another time, internet connection here is poor, taken 2 days to try to post this one. Limacodidae family.
Montane rainforest about 5,000'.
It was on a rotting wooden post on the Burong hill track between the road and river.

I have now reworked the first picture to a larger size and added four more.
Thanks for the info Bayucca, got lots of fotos for posting when I get home, may have a foto of the moth amongst them. Have more of this caterpillar but internet too poor for posting! Hopefully Chun will help to ID some!
Wow Malcolm,beautiful capture,amazing creature,congrats and thanks for sharing
Before joining Project Noah, I never realized there are so many "spiky" caterpillars - nice spotting!
Limacodidae, Slug Moth Caterpillar. Any other view of this crazy moth??
Amazing find, I used to find many of these in my neighbourhood when I was young. I was also silly enough to learn the hard way by touching them.
So Cute!
Spectacular, Malcolm!
