Eupanacra sp.
6-8 cm, mostly brown with small false eyespots on front. Looks like a Sphinx moth caterpillar.
Found resting on the vine growing on our mango tree.
The host plant is Epipremnum pinnatum (Dragon-tail plant). I checked the next day and I couldn't find it, it might have started to pupate and hid somewhere safe. I have also seen smaller caterpillars on the same plant with similar characteristics, they could be the same species so I might keep an eye on them to see what they metamorphize into and finally determine the species.
Ornithoptera80 Thanks! It's definitely my first time seeing them but all the caterpillars are now gone. I can't seem to find them so I guess they'll remain unidentified.
Definitely in the genus Eupanacra, but looks much different than the last one you found? I would keep an eye out for this one.
