Valpourer Moth Caterpillar

One moth which the caterpillar seems to take a liking to these Breidden Hills especially in the months of June and July is that of the Valpourer Moth. These caterpillars look like Chinese dragons. The main body is coloured black and covered in tufts of red and yellow fluff. Beware though if touched as these moths have a nasty reaction from the hairs and will give you a nasty rash.
