Thanks, Jakubko. I've added it. Moths of the World is one of my favorite missions. Moths are under-appreciated and usually hard to identify (for me, anyway). They're amazing insects, though.
Yes, a lovely tussock caterpillar! Please add this to my mission, "Moths of the World:" http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8841449
