Rob English has sent some very unusual photos this week. He spotted these colourful little critters in Fish Creek Park. If anyone cares to make a species identification for us, please leave a comment below! Click to enlarge.

Looks like a Leafy Spurge Hawk Moth caterpillar (Hyles euphorbiae) introduced to North America from Europe in 1965.

I think they might be a type of horned worm, although the ones that I have seen are green.
