Kiri and I traveled to the big island of Hawai'i and attended the International Symposium on Biological Control of Weeds. It could be said that Hawaii is the poster-child for biological invasions, with plants and animals from all over the world threatening the island's unique native species. I was happy when Kiri pointed out this native caterpillar as we hiked along the trail. The body segment at the rear-end of a caterpillar is called the 'anal plate.' I haven't seen another species with the anal plate so pointed, it's a pretty cool feature. It seems I'm making quite the hobby of photographing caterpillar bums.
