Definitely an Acherontia sp., for sure not Acherontia atropos, but eiter Lacheses or Styx.
Wow!!! Fantastic capture!!
ok...it done S Frazier
Maybe you can put "Malang" in the space under "Where did you find it?" and click search... Spotting mantap!
@ S Frazier...Ok, I try to adjust. but actually the place is in East Java, Malang
@ christina @ texless ...thanks
@ Darklenes I found this at back yard, it spent cocoon phase inside the soil
@ aunt...yes, I belive it so
The spotting looks like it is in the ocean south of Java. Can this be adjusted?
I was just gonna say...
I believe this is the same caterpillar: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/693...

@ Susan
@ Darlenek
this one is a rare species, even for a whole my life I just found once, and luckyly I made the picture
Very cool!
neat!
thank you for the information auntnance123 :)
I thought it might be an oriental eyed moth caterpillar because the older larvae have the purple stripes. But that bumpy curled "horn" has me stumped.
