Hi Eddy, eo512421! The larva of Oleander Hawk Moth in the Philippines feeds on leaves of Adenium or Periwinkle (Chichirica). Welcome to Project Noah! I am following you and I'm eager to see more spottings from you!
Am very new to this site. Is it supposed to feed on oleander or honey suckle? Used to see a lot of Mariposas on my santol trees but hardly see any now. Sorry about not being able to easily nsvigate this site, age constriction. Will try to observe more. Eddy
Thanks.
Thanks Marta! :)
