She is a beauty and reminds me of our Emperor Gum Caterpillars, enthusiastically looked for by children. I had many in shoe-boxes as "pets" with gum leaves for feeding, when I was a child. My mother found them under my bed full of cocoons!!

Is this is the inspiration for futuristic movies? Pretty cool critter and it's beautiful as an adult.

In an interesting way, this caterpillar is a little grotesque. What a transformation to the striking adult!
