Whats This Bug
I found this bug on the ground below an old oak with many vines. I live in north west Florida. I believe it is an Abbot’s sphinx caterpillar in a variation other than you had posted from 08/07/2004.

Hi Heather,
Abbott’s Sphinx Caterpillars, Sphecodina abbottii, have several different color morphs, including the brown form in your photograph.
