Slug Moth Caterpillar, Limacodidae. Reminds me of Setora nitens, quite a common Limacodidae of East Asia. The markings are not matching 100%, also maybe due to different instars? http://ecoport.org/ep?SearchType=pdb&PdbID=25226 https://www.flickr.com/photos/itchydogimages/9958199546/ Other possibel Limacodidae genus are Parasa, Scopelodes, Darna.
