Field Notes

Description:

This Caterpillar might be a instar of a previously noted caterpillar (https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/2036116496 ) because it was found on the same host plant as well as it has the some similar markings on its body. At this stage when its threatened it sticks very close to the branch and camouflages to the background as in the second picture.
