HornwormsCaterpillar or Larvae?
Hi there,
We found this insect eating on a Leafy Spurge plant. It is about 3 inches long. Is it a Bedstraw Hawkmoth Larvae? I looked it up on the net but the colors didn’t quite match. Thanks for your help.

Hi Mina,
This is a close relative of the Bedstraw Hawkmoth, the Leafy Spurge Hawkmoth, Hyles euphorbiae.
