Manduca sexta
This is a BIG caterpillar. 13cm long. Very docile, stays immobile when touched. A very nice creature.
A tomato plant, in my garden.
Note the small "nails" in the third picture. They must be very strong to support this immense insect in the plant.
Lat: -23.15, Long: -45.73

ID changed to Tobacco hornworm.
Araújo, boa idéia. Farei isso amanhã se ela ainda estiver lá. Veja que pelo número de listas dá para identificar a espécie correta, de acordo com a Wikipedia.
Hi Alex.
Wikipedia link added with nice information and correct ID. From there:
