Eumorpha pandorus
This caterpillar will turn into a beautiful moth and when it does, I want to be there for the final transformation. I hope I can share the moment with you.

Thanks for your comments. This is one of my favorite shots in my "all-star list". Sadly, my cat found this caterpillar and you can imagine the outcome. I will be looking for another one this season and hope to share the final stage with you.

If I ever find one of these caterpillars, my life will be complete. HA! LOL!
This is what the Pandorus Sphinx caterpillar looks like.
