Acharia sp
About 3 cm long , 1 cm wide . Really vivid colors.
Yes, me ;-)...
It is just a suggestion and if you do not agree discussion is open, but you have to bring up some arguments like pictures or links ;-).... Sometimes there is an exciting discussion involving many people and more eyes and more Mac/PC might find more information. I do not have more than I posted, unfortunately, and I never have seen a such deep blue like in yours. My suggestion is based on the general shape of this type of caterpillar, the color distribution and other markings. It is quite easy to get to Limacodidae and then the problems start... And look, there are already 2 "+" :-)...
Im not sure i completely agree with bayucca´s ID , but since i have no idea i have to ask , does any one agree with that? :)
Limacodidae, Acharia sp..
Acharia ophelians is actually also called "Blue-nose Acharia" which would match with your picture. But I think it is not serious enough to call this one Ophelians.
