This was an interesting little creature that came to visit while I was hiking in the cloud forest of Ecuador. I have no idea of the species (please let me know if you do, thanks) but sure was cool looking with the two-toned body of orange and green and all those clusters of spikey hair. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 105mm macro lens, ISO 800, f/13 at 1/60th of a second.
I don’t know his species, but I’m pretty sure his name is Carl. Or maybe Carlton? He works at the Dunkin Donuts near me. I see him often, but we never really talk, you know?
He looks like a really tiny cactus! Hopefully, someone who is an expert on crawly things will let you know who this guy is—and most importantly, if he might morph into something even more beautiful and interesting. We’ll all stay tuned.

You may have found a cousin of this one. Beautiful job.

Ah yes, looks almost exactly like this one. https://www.agefotostock.com/age/en/Stock-Images/Royalty-Free/WE139559
Hey Sean, as Jeane Carmichael said, it is likely a silk moth (saturniids) of some type. Perhaps Leucanella Saturniidae
Hey Bob, seems you’re right. See the above link I just posted to Jeane’s comment.
great pic. _) Looks like catus plant so it scarce all the other aminals away. )
