Field Notes

Habitat:

Seen in the hills behind the town of Sungai Penuh, on the edge of the Kerinci Seblat National Park.

Notes:

The caterpillar is enjoying munching on the invasive Giant Sensitive Plant (Mimosa pigra). I'm not sure if the caterpillar is an invasive as well, but it sure blended in well with its fuzzy, light green seed pods. I came close to missing it.
