Has anyone any idea what this is the caterpillar of? He is eating my brug to bits, but if he is something gorgeous I won't squash him!
Help this chap is eating my brug!!
squash em :0
just kidding...dont know what he is but at the least he needs relocating !
Yes, that's what I'd do - toss it in another place. Would hate to kill a potential Butterfly.
I have worms that size but they are the same color as the leaves, and hard to see
Post a pic of him in the Garden Foes forum http://davesgarden.com/forums/f/pad/ ...... if he doesn't get ID'd here.
I have the same worm but think it is a big night moth cat so I don't kill them. Guess I need to pull out my books to see if I can find it. They just don't have a good moth cat book out there that I can find
I was just about to say if you squashed it donnab would come and get you.... =)

Is he a loner or do you have squads of them?
Caterpillers give me the creeps to touch but could you just heave him into the neighbor's yard?
He is a single chap - and he has been 'moved' into an empty lot - hope he is OK!!
50 seedlings about 6" high were defoliated over night by two little green cats. They are in Caterpiller Heaven, as we speak!!

YUK is right! LOL I don't like any of them. They eat their way around all my brug leaves and also my coleus. I just sprayed with BT tonight. I think I picked off 20 this morning and took them a block away to a friends house. LOL
Those cats sure can eat up a storm!!! Here check out this site you might find your crawlin munching machine.

oh cool site GGK
Wow, what a site. I've never seen so many worms (and hope I never do)
Well the nearest I can find to him is an eleohant hawk moth. That poor brug - something else munched it last night too - but it didn't stick around for me to find. The poor brug is now minus half its foliage!!
Today, when I was potting up some plants, I picked up a pot and there was the most awful worm I've ever seen, and I will tell you that I've never met a worm I like, I'm a girlie girl, but I accept them for the good they will do, but I don't want to touch them. This one was VERY long and was off white and taupe, not very wiggly. I hope to holy heck that he wasn't a good worm, but if he was, he's in worm heaven now, he made me sick. Any idea what he might have been??
LOL Sherry you should have taken a pic
A cobra?
