Gaelyn's visit - Part 5

One tree in Kruger Park was covered with these caterpillers.
What was strange to me is that there were always two together laying side by side. I have never seen any other cat do this.
A Slug Moth (Limacodidae)
A silk moth who mostly feed of fig tree leaves.

This moth was as large as my hand and I found it one night when I went to shower. Well okay, I DID shower more than ONE night!! LOL!!
Common Bush Brown butterfly (Satyrinae)

Gaelyn's visit - Part 6 Final

We found this against a wall by the Dinosaur Park. At first I though it was of our monarch butterfly but it is not. A most interesting pupa anyway.

A Tussock moth (Lymantriidae)
Oblique Peacock Moth (Chaismia simplicilinea) is of medium size and feed on Wattle.
I am not 100% on this one but think it is a Grammodes stolida.
This cat is very interesting in that the white stripe glows and is very visable in the dark.
The pupa of an Acraea butterfly.
