Caterpillar

This caterpillar is a Lasiocampidae caterpillar, but I can't determinate it.

Hi Tomas,

Thanks, I was thinking this to be either a Lasiocampidae or a Lymantriidae, but could not find any picture from any blog/forum/site.

Let see if I can succeed to get at least one pupa... My source or acacia starts to end, and the caterpillars do not seem to accept Rubus.

Cheers, Xavier
