Wow! Just scrolling up-page made me realize that this is a spotting by Smith Zoo instead of Jopy as erroneously deduced from the ID suggestions in comments. I deleted the first comment to make another one that reads "fine, colourful photos! Like a nature animation". Unfortunately, you responded before the the action was completed. Bad network here. It's all good :)
Follow Smith Zoo. Nice photos!
Geometridae moths have caterpillars in "U" shape, you can try found ID among Geometridae family that lives in your area, I try to find ID but without success :(
