The last caterpillar could be Lonomia electra but it most likely is some species of Hemileucinae.The middle one is probably a Tussock moth caterpillar, (Lymantriinae).The fourth one looks like some sort of Tiger moth caterpillar, (Arctiinae).The first and second are some sort of Owlet moth caterpillar, (Erebidae).

HI Filadelfo, welcome to Project Noah! Great caterpillar photos! You might want to consider separating each caterpillar species into its own spotting. We encourage users to have one spotting for each distinct species. It will make for a better nature journal :) Looking forward to seeing more of your photos! Best, Michael
