Trichiocercus sparshalli
A very hairy white caterpillar with bright red stripe along its back. These are processionary caterpillars and will follow eachother in a long line. This one was found singly on Eucalyptus. The moth is a pure white Bombyx type.
I found a whole group laast year. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/782...
