A small (about 2 cm) odd dressed caterpillar. Mimicking dry leaf and grass blowing in the wind. See the movie.
This caterpillar was found on a man made stone wall dividing the bush camp from a river. (Hlane National park, Swaziland)

That is fantastic words Dan, really happy for them! Thanks a lot!!
Amazing! The video really brings it to life, awesome job Tina!
Bayucca, I have very low expectations to ID this one to more than Geometridae. I dont know if I should add that to the spotting and be happy or keep on waiting a bit... After all there are about 26 000 different ones... What would you do?
Thank you very much Kate and Chief!
Amazing !
Great video!
Thank you for the ID hint Bay :) And thank you Pamela for your nice comment. It is for sure a very odd little thing!
Wonderful movie, Tina. Still can't get over the effort that creature put into moving! And the whole performance it put on. Didn't get very far, though...
I know some Geometrinae which had some similar baggage.
