Insect or Invertebrates Identification - DONE

[arks]

Sea anemone, perhaps family Actiniidae

Thanks Toko I was hoping that it might be a nudibranch, but I think that you are right. However, other sea anemones that I've seen are round, so this shape is something a bit different.

ExFmem, that's pretty cool news

Thanks for investigating

Can anyone help with an ID for this caterpillar? Seen at Rondevlei (Cape Town) in late September 2013.

[Toko]

The caterpillar is of the genus Bombycomorpha (Lasiocampidae), and there are several similar ones Bombycomorpha bifascia or B. pallida

Another one for our unidentified caterpillar book

I'm sure that I can find a few more for that special book, Toko Thanks for your helpful pointers as always

Here are two more insects that I need ID help for, both seen in my garden in Darling in December 2014.

I love the red bugs, arks, lovely capture of Caeneus carnifex


The moth is family Geometridae, but for genus or species


And I had a closer look into the Bombycomorphas, your caterpillar is Bombycomorpha bifascia
