This picture was taken at our Backyard. When I was fetching some Water Spinach leaves, known as Kangkong in the Philippines, to feed my iguana, I noticed this hairy fella resting in the plant. Immediately, I realized that it was a Moth Caterpillar, specifically of the Yellow-tail Moth or "Euproctis Similis". I decided to take this picture with my phone.
