Lymantriidae (tussock moths) of some sort.

Amazing defoliation of the plants. :omg:
The Town Council workers will probably be instructed to spray the area with pesticides soon. :sweat:
Thx Roger. I've been wanting to find out the family of this moth since i reared it a few yrs back bt i didn't take any pics of it. A similar cat has been mentioned recently.
