Msasa Moth Caterpillar - Pachymeta Robusta aka Orange Fluffy Caterpillars 🦋

The larva are a common sight in Brachystegia woodland on both Msasa and Mnondo and cluster together on the trunks of trees forming orange hairy mats. The caterpillar is large and spectacular and bears black spines. The caterpillars disperse at night to feed on the leaves.

The moth belongs to the family Lasiocampidae which includes the Lappet and Eggar moths. The female is a large stout moth with densely scaled wings. The forewings are narrow with brown and grey markings. A dark brown band crosses the forewings vertically. The forewings and thorax are greyish and the abdomen and hind wings are light brown. The adult stage does not feed.

If you take a walk around the park you will be sure to spot some.
