Spectacularly patterned caterpillar. Unfortunately with a bunch of Tachinid parasitoid fly eggs (white dots) the larvae of which will eat it alive.ID and information courtesy: John Hortsman.
Not sure but it did look like a Jackfruit tree near a brook in a coffee plantation.

Thank you, Machi. Indeed very brightly coloured. So sad it is going to be eaten by the parasitoid larvae.
Great colors!
