I brought this guy inside with either my MG's or with the Aristolochia plants, he was crawling up the side of my leather couch about two weeks ago and now he is alot bigger about the size of my index finger and as fat..lol. Took him outside and he's been on the Ipomoea Batatas for a couple of weeks and he feels like leather.
That's a Tersa Sphinx cat who will become the beautiful Tersa Sphinx Moth:

probably cocooned Antionette. I found one a couple of days ago just laying on top of the mulch. I scooped it up and put it in a bug cage to over winter with the rest of my cocoons
forgot to say they eat pentas. are your chewed up??

oh, that's probably what he did. It must be very interesting to see them come to life, may try that next year and be preparing a place for them. I love their faces.
Thanks Donna.
