Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!

Thank you so much, Fyn Kynd. Hoping for an ID...bayucca send me this video.. http://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-3..... I think the film is faster than they go, but they do go pretty fast!!

Wonderful caterpillar Gilma! It's beautiful.

Thank you,Dilan Chathuranga. More of them are coming out of one of my inner gardens and heading to the outside gardens...in that "fast walk" they do... : o

Thank you, Bhagya Herath. I have seen a few sites with this caterpillar, sadly every time I found it, it is not ID... : (

Thank you so much bayucca, I also saw that amazing video, while trying to find an ID. That is exactly what the caterpillar is doing right now, is as if it is looking for something......
