HornwormsCaterpillar
Hi!
This caterpillar was found in Port Severn Ontario, we found it near some sumac trees we were clearing. We had never seen anything like him and thought he was photo worthy.
It’s about 1/2″ diameter and 4″ long when he was fully extended. Can you tell us what it was? The only similar image of a caterpillar I found was from Mexico and there was no name listed for it. Thanks so much
Courtney
Hi Courtney,
This is a Pandorus Sphinx Caterpillar, Eumorpha pandorus. It will become a lovely green moth that is of described by our readership as the camouflage moth.
