Large caterpillar feeding just outside its cocoon, rushed back into cocoon as soon as I came close.

Jacky: Chelepteryx chalepteryx seems to be the only larva fitting size and hairiness of your specimen, but the dorsal and lateral stripes look wrong. Please can you capture it and rear it in captivity to get the adult moth for confirmation.
