Field Notes

Description:

Looks like a slug moth caterpillar. Always wanted to see one.

Habitat:

Fossil Park campus, Mandu (Mandav) Madhya Pradesh, India. There was a stiff breeze and quite a few shots came out blurred but this one (cropped) is OK for an ID I hope.

Notes:

John Horstman has identified this as either Miresa or Norosoideus caterpillar. Can anyone take it further, please.
