Caterpillar

Fantastic!

Awesome, I didn't know there are animals like this!

The adult moth is also spectacular: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automeris_metzli

Looks like a walking lichen.

Fabulous! I'm not sure what I did, but I'm glad you found the name.

Good job!

Wonderful!

NIce point in the right direction JuanDiTrani. Jaun Restrepo now maybe you can search databases. All I get is North American Moths with much smaller spikes. Good Luck.

probably a Saturniid (moth) catterpillar

Fantastic! I too thought, "where's the caterpillar?"

Harsha - I thought it was a plant too at first. Maybe someone will be able to ID it.

Que oruga mas loca! No sabía que en Pereira las teniamos, divina divina!

O wow. For once I thought it was a plant.

Very cool caterpillar, I hope someone can ID it too. Welcome to Project Noah!

Cool, Good cameflouge!

Welcome to Project Noah! Costa Rican Hairy is similar?

That caterpillar looks like a plant called Moss Rose portulaca - what awesome camo.
