Oleander Hawk-moth caterpillar

Thank you Vic!

OH beautifull Blue eyes :-) he is stunning!! gr8t series of pic's

Thanks textless : )

Lovely photos!

Thank you for the ident StarLeaf. Yes they absolutely love the two plants that you mention. I don't mind them chomping away on the Periwinkle as it grows like a weed here but not so thrilled about them decimating the Adenium as I only have 1. I have only once spotted an Oleander Hawk-moth in my garden, must add it as a spotting.

This particular type of caterpillar has stumped me for months until I found out it's actually an Oleander Hawk Moth in the making.

I've seen them denuding Madagascar periwinkle plants as well as Adeniums; and I let them.

The caterpillar would eventually turned dark before it moved on to the next stage.

Incredible! and very cute

Wow, alien-looking caterpillar, especially if we look the 2nd and the 3rd photos.
Nice...

Agree :-)
