| Notes: |
|
This large yellow worm had wide bands in a blue V shape along it's back. It was feeding on the leaves of an Halleria lucida (tree fuchsia) in our garden at 14 Flamingo Drive, Hilton. This was the only specimen that we saw. I am not sure if this is the right category for this specimen. |
