@bayucca..thank for your ID and your nice comment ..ok. I' ll fix it..sorry I' m also wrong typing.it..I mean is catepillar. ( .not double t. )
Please, note: it is "caterpillar" in english, not cattepillar. This is important, because if you are searching for caterpillar (for example earlystages for helping with IDs), one would not find your wonderful ones due to the misspelling. Please, check all of your nice cattepillar pictures and change them in caterpillar. Thanks!
Hypolimnus bolina I would say, but I can't tell you which subpecies (Bolina or Jacintha). The corresponding subspecies would also give a closer common name other than just Eggfly (Greatbor Jacintha Eggfly). This one I am quite sure it is not Hypolimnas anomala.
