Yesterday I found two green larvas and a bigger orange one, at first I thought it's Acherontia larvas beacuse I already found one in my area, but then I googled 'Acherontia larvas' and although they look the same you can see some differences.
I cant find the green ones now but the orange one is still here with another little oragne one
anyway, I live in israel which is in the Middle East, if that helps
Can anyone tell what larvas are they?
Unknown larva
Possibly Daphnis nerii (Oleander hawkmoth) - http://tpittaway.tripod.com/china/d_ner.htm
It does look the same :) thank you
What is the HOST plant that they are feeding on?? Looks very much like the "tomato" horn worm . . .that turns to a sphinx moth. I believe the host plant is key to identifying the caterpillar.
@Mantarey - Look at he 'horn' on this specimen - it is nothing like that on a tomato or tobacco hornworm, and also, consider the geographic location...
