WTB? Down UnderCan you tell me what this is??
Hi there,
Found this caterpillar on our orange tree today. Do you know it? It certainly can sting!! We live in Queensland, Australia.
Many thanks,
Borris
Hi Borris,
We quickly located your Stinging Slug Caterpillar online. Two different scientific names are given: Calcarifera ordinata (Butler, 1886) and Doratiphora colligans. Orange was not listed as a host plant but mimosa, dogwood and rose is.
