Nice thick green worm with a green fuzzy perm, and a white stripe down it's side. Rescued from certain death when found on a Friends' Hibiscus. Brought him home to my Hibiscus so I could take pictures.
I had never seen one eating Hibiscus leaves before. But Lily kills any living thing that comes close to her house and she thought she was going to scream when I gently put him in a bottle to bring to my house.
Can you put Caterpilars under Butterflies and Moths?
How funky! Love him. That's exactly the kind of thing I would do. It's fascinating watching the wildlife as well as trying to capture them in pics.
