Anyone know what this guy is? He is pink and living on my salvia guaraniticas. Never seen a pink caterpillar before. Thanks.

Did you put it in something? Can you try to get a better pic? I want to see a pink cat too! I have no idea what it could be.

Here's a better picture. I have no idea what it will turn into. If anybody knows, please tell me.

It's pretty. You might do a search for butterflies and moths that are in your area. It might take some time tho. Maybe someone will recognize it.

I saw some pink cats on this bug site, but none I could tell were like you have. But check out the pink grasshopper on this page! LOL! God has a sense of humor for sure!

probably a moth as they eat so many things.

That grasshopper is too cute! I might not mind them if they looked like that!

I agree with Donna, probably a moth but still a pretty cat.

Google, Pink Bollworm. Looks similar.

Thanks for the input. It's not the bollworm, so I'll have to wait and see.
