These are early instars of the Flag Moth, Dysschema sp. I found these once and reared them to adults. It is a 10 part series called the Saga of the Flag Moth. Here is the spotting for the larvae (and you can then follow the series). Mine is still an unidentified species of Dysschema, Family Erebidae, Subfamily Arctiinae). http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/165....
