 * Comment Support More information for identification would make it a more useful picture. Species id would of course be nice, but merely listing location and habitat, plus if you saw it chew on a particular plant, would go a long way. Narayanese (talk) 18:53, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Species id is not possible and this was the best the experts could provide. It was resting on a Sugar apple leaf on which it also fed. Pictured in Dar es Salaam. This information has also been added to the image pages. --Muhammad (talk) 07:13, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Questions Were these taken at the same opportunity? Why is the caterpillar wet in the alternative? Papa Lima Whiskey  (talk) 23:10, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Reason says it was during light rainfall. Noodle snacks (talk) 01:35, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * They were taken on different days. The second one on a rainy day hence the wetness. --Muhammad (talk) 03:33, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support both Although I suppose the original should take priority. I think the pic has sufficient EV for the articles it is in without better classification.Terri G (talk) 16:36, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
