Help, I used to know what this was. I think the brightly colored insect lays the eggs and the caterpillar hatches from the eggs and turns into the insect. At least I saw the caterpillars first.
My Alamanda vine bush in the butterfly garden. The insects were laying eggs on the back of the Alamanda leaf. They prefer Oleander to breed on , but I have found them on Alamanda both in Venice and Satasota and Dr. Fred Santana says that has happened in our area.
I finally got smart and went back to my Facebook album which had the identification information.
Found the scientific name, and provided a link to Wikipedia. It has some more information on it. Great series, it's a neat moth.
