Was this sighting uploaded under the correct species/with the correct photos? Definitely not Cordyceps hawkesii based on these photos, it is not on the ground and has no visible fruiting body.

I have no idea what species it is, just a caterpillar, but the app makes you choose something. Sorry for the trouble.

All good. For next time, you don't have to go all the way down to a species level ID before clicking "next," so you can just pick a generic category like insects. I'll put in a random butterfly suggestion to send this sighting over to the correct category for you.
