Good eyes UrifahRidlo to notice that this was not a swallowtail larva !
Hi Lani, pls include this instead in Leana's moth mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1591.... Thanks! :)
This is a hawk moth caterpillar, Sphingidae. I'm looking for a species for you now.
Very interesting, eyespots like some swallowtails but has that spike at the rear like a sphinx moth. ID in question here.
so cute, but I think they wont become a buterflies, they will be a moth, brown moth
Hi Lani.. pls include this also in our Philippine Butterfly mission. Thanks a lot!
That plant has largest concentrations of Calcium oxalates and silice, Very toxic....
wow! I didn't know there was a swallowtail that eats caladium leaves. Good looking caterpillar.
Nice shot..thanks for the sharing and I think they will become beautiful butterfly...!
