Can anyone help ? What will this guy become ?
Thanx Lyn
Hi Lyn,
We crave information, like location and food plants. This is an Abbotts Sphinx Caterpillar, Sphecodina abbottii. It is relatively unique among the sphinxes since it looses its caudal horn, and the remaining “scar” looks like an eye, which probably frightens predators like birds.
