Thanks, Chun for the ID. I think I will still introduce is as "cookie monster" beetle, just for the fun of it. Thank you!

In these parts, we call it "Four-angled" beans. If you google it, you will find it under "Goa" beans. Delicious as a dish, stir-fried (quickly) in a wok with some oil and garlic.

Thanks, Diane. They are pretty cool-looking!

What a beauty! Congratulations!

Nice! Looks like a Lego piece.

Wow! It's like gold & black silk weaved together. Nice one!

Haha... I have more insects & wildlife to be lD-ed, EarlyStages. Be glad to have you showing me the ropes! I'm like a little boy when it comes to stuff like these. Thanks!

Hi EarlyStages,
Thank you so much for putting the comparisons. Love it! Yes, I can see the different - and it's so obvious. Damn, I have a lot to learn. Thank you for pushing me. I love this community! Just saw more yellow archduke butterflies today in the trails. No caterpillars shots today. Thanks, again! Woohoo! This is so cool - like a bunch of nature detectives.

Thanks, everyone. Earlystages, please click on the reference link. The Adoliadini you suggest is same or close to the Archduke. In fact they share lots of similarities. Therefore, Archduke is the correct ID! Thank you for making me double check.

Well, thank you for your comments. They've helped me locate what caterpillar this is. Archduke is my final answer as these butterflies are a common sight in the area. Google "Archduke caterpillar" to more photos of 'em. Thank you! I love projectnoah.org!
