I am sure you will capture that photo. Just stay out there and looking. this caterpillar was a new one for me. I love its red feet!
After researching the moth, I'm on the lookout to try and photograph the adult.
Thank you very much for the id suggestion gatorfellows! After reading up on this caterpillar, these little fellows were right at home!
Thanks you for the warm welcome. We have a large variety of butterfly attractant plants, but this one escapes me for what type it may become. I added the particular host plant in the habitat section, but the host is a Milk and Wine lily (Crinum latifolium) from Amaryllidaceae.
beautiful images - welcome to Project Noah. Can you tell us something about where you saw these?
