Wow! All the shots are great, but the first and last pics are awsome.
Hi Cindy,Thanks !I will take some pictures of the palm and post the link here.
Great photo! What type of palm is it on? I believe its the same one I have unidentified right now.
I have one morehttp://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/661...
I find same caterpillar last month. I check on net information. Find mos of this family caterpillars have hairy humps on back mostly Black and White. Hairy antennas and vented portion.http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/644...
AshishNimkar,Thanks for the ID.
Ceherzog,Yes, it´s on a Palm inflorescence !
Caterpillar is of Lymantriidae family moth. Moths are not spectacular compared to this caterpillar stage.
I'd guess it's on a Palm inflorescence? What a wonderful caterpillar...maybe a tussock moth? Just a wild guess. Super shots!!!
Excellent shot! It's head looks a bit like a ladybird :-)
