This is fond of palm leaf where it curls the leaf and 'nests'. Looks like it will have white powder on it. White fluffy hairs... Can anyone identify this?

Dinu,
Have you tried https://www.inaturalist.org/ for identifications? A great site for identifications and recording sightings.

I thought that I had answered this one a long time ago - it's a caterpillar of the giant red eye butterfly (Gangara thyrsis; family Hesperiidae) - https://www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/Crawling-threads/article14010109.ece
