Description:

Another caterpillar with an awesome behavior: it was tightly wrapped around a twig, and only stretched for a photo session after a gentle persuasion.

Wow ! Even geometrid caterpillars are weird and amazing in your part of the world - great spotting & series. Wants to be an Anaconda when it grows up, I guess ? :)
