Look like following but its from North America. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lophocampa_argentata
Yes...but my doubt is wrong... not of Orgiya sp. !!
I did load several photos, but I'm finding the photo loader a bit hit and miss, I'll look again to see if I have a complete photo
I feel its a Orgyia sp. moth's caterpillar. But unable to find hairy bumps on its back. Have you picture with complete caterpillar..?
