What is this?
This was on my small palm tree – we live on the west coast of Florida near Clearwater. It has some blue on it as well; however, none of the pics we took show it Thanks!

Hi Stacey,
The Polka-Dot Wasp Moth, Syntomeida epilais, can get very numerous at times, and the orange caterpillars feed on oleander leaves. We found a site with much information on this species.
