Carolina Sphinx Moth, Tobacco Hornworm (Manduca sexta)
Interesting. But what are those white things on it?
The white things are parasitic wasp larvae. They will slowly eat the caterpillar from the inside. Sad.
I thought they might be some kind of parasitic larvae, but was not sure. Thank you for letting me know.
