Cat id please
Definitely a caterpillar of one of the Sphynx Moths or Hawk Moths in the family Sphingidae, but I cannot tell which species. What is the plant it is feeding on?
it is eating a Hamelia cuprea
Gosh Dick, it looks like an eyball looking out at us.
Kell
even more strange is the fact that it is a hitch hicker
came on an Ebay purchase, not even a west coast moth :-)
Dick
Oh that could be bad. Did you kill it?
not yet
waiting to find out what it is, a Sphynx or Hawk Moth ?
