It's a beauty, but I have absolutely no idea who the mother is. I found it munching on the leaves of an adenium.

Thanks, Melanie! Hurray! Thumbs up It is the caterpillar of:
Nymphalid Crow Butterfly (Euploea sp., Nymphalidae)

I took this pic last year when a butterfly was hovering around one of my first adenium flowers grown from seed. It is the largest butterfly I have seen here. The pic shows only the right wing.
