Nor can I find it in various guides. Physically it resembled the caterpillar of Polygrammate hebraeicum, the lovely moth called the Hebrew due it's black markings on white wings resembling a Hebrew character. Only this caterpillar had a fairly smooth red body (darkish red), a black head, and two rows of very small black dots on both sides of the abdomen. From each dot grew a single seta; the setae were long but thin and sparse.
