Found this caterpillar in Karnala last weekend. Saw this species for the first time, and I've not been able to ID it yet. Any ID help appreciated...

Av (Aperture Value) 4.0

ISO Speed 80
Flash On
Flash Exposure Compensation -2

Cropped for a vertical composition.
I have sharpened the image a bit, but am not sure whether I've done the right amount of sharpening. Let me know what you feel.

Thanks, C&C awaited.

The vertical composition looks good. I would have liked a bit less space in the bottom. A narrower aperture would have helped. The sharpening looks fine to me. Thanks for sharing.

I like your composition Abhishek. I agree that a bit less space at the bottom would have been nice. The dark background looks nice. The sharpening feels adequate to me. Thanks for sharing.

These caterpillars were plentifully available in the semi-evergreen forests of Anaimalais during February. They are so well camouflaged.

Not so sure about the identity though.

Not sure about id. I used to see these a lot during the childhood days.
