I 'had' a big lush sweet potato vine that is now a skeleton. Guess it's getting ready for Halloween. LOL

Anyway, I thought I would see if I could spot the little green caterpillar that I thought was eating it. This is what I found. It is not green and it is NOT little.

I would like to know what it is before and if I dispose of it. We have lots of woods to take it to, but if it is a bad one I won't do it.

Thanks!
