Hi Chris; I found your site when searching for the name of this Caterpillar. I too have an image of it taken in Saint Lucia recently. Thanks for posting yours and for the Id provided in the comments. BTW: Beautiful image too.
Several people have asked me the name of these caterpillars - to date, I have not found out. Any info gratefully received...Chris

hey nice pics, when i was in dominica i saw the same type of caterpillars, beautiful, arent they?
Fantastic image! I have an image similar from when I was in St. Lucia http://www.pbase.com/ayobami/image/36096212) and was just thinking about adding it to my trekearth site but wanted to find out the name for it. When I did a search, I landed right back here on pbase and found your photo. Do you have any idea what these little guys are called? I've only ever seen them in St. Lucia.
