Tiger moth caterpillar

The caterpillar is one of the tiger moths. Without views from other angles, not sure which one. A guess would be the Virgin tiger moth...but that is a guess.
If you rear it to a moth, then we would know. :-)

Caterpillars of this group of moths eat a wide variety of plants, tho none are considered garden pests. Perhaps you happened to get a moth that laid a lot of eggs on your hibiscus? Or it is the tastiest plant around?
