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.

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

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

Thanks so much for these IDs, Toko
@nan: glad that you also enjoyed my "fire bugs". My garden in Darling is full of interesting surprises
