Attached is a photo of a caterpillar taken at Meadowlark Gardens in Vienna, Virginia on Sept 30th, 2005. It was found on a water plant growing at the edge of a pond. We have been unable to identify it and would appreciate your help. It has retracted the front part of it’s body.
Thank you.

Hi Diane,
I know our site is out of control, but we try our best to make it user friendly. We have three caterpillar pages. There is also a search engine that works quite well. This is a Banded Sphinx, Eumorpha fasciatus.
