I spotted this caterpillar at Kawa Amazonica Butterfly Farm. It's a community project inside the Iwokrama Forest Reserve. They are breeding some of the local butterflies to sell them to conservatories in the UK. They only had a few different species but I can't remember which one this was.
Here's an adult female and her remarkable egg-laying behavior . . .
