Intense Red

This black caterpillar has intense red markings, most likely a warning sign!

Update :
After posting this picture to the Philippines Lepidoptera Group, I managed to get an ID of this Caterpillar and according to the Lepidopterist who specialises in Caterpillars, this is the first documented record of Argynnis (formerly Argyreus) hyperbius larva/Caterpillar.

Amazing find, Albert! Can you elaborate what you mean with first documented record? First photo? First photo in the Philippines? Posted 9 years ago

  Thanks, Ferdy.
  I believe what I was told was that this photo is the first documented record of the Caterpillar in the wild. Posted 9 years ago
