Hippotion celerio
This little worm is munching away at one of my beautiful local lilies, of course I dont have the heart to remove it. It will eat nearly half the plant and then disappear, does anyone know why? I have no idea what it turns into either.
Shady area in our garden. Always on a soft leaf plant that I spot them.
Hi Kei Heyns, yes, this is actually a small one still. It will eat half if not all of the plant in 2/3 days, then disappear. I never see a pupa close by, so hope they all become beautiful moths....
I don't know what kind of caterpillar this is, but it is a very nice series! Welcome to Project Noah!
