@michaelb Michael, I did a Google image search. Could this possibly be Deanolis sublimbalis, Red-banded Mango caterpillar - a moth? There is one image of these in wood rather than mangoes.

although I suspect intermediate instars of a number of Cossid species do this white to red change, going through a stage of alternating red and white bands like those shown in
