Family Limacodidae
Seen feeding on a Custard Apple leaf. The caterpillar behaved like jelly when disturbed. Many limacodid larvae are green and fairly smooth (e.g. yellow-shouldered slug), but others have tubercles with urticating hairs and may have bright warning colours. The sting can be quite potent, causing severe pain.
Seen at a small forest near a river.
