Fat caterpillar, possibly a hawk moth
Semi-arid lands, acacia scrub and euphorbias
Violent popping action as defense, leap and twist to change body curve, startles predators and keeps them from getting too close. Both my cat and a vervet monkey were investigating this creature, neither could get close enough to decide if it was edible!
