Great Ash Sphinx Caterpillar - SK - Ceratomia undulosa
Near Pike Lake provincial park outstide Saskatoon. , Saskatoon and Area, Saskatchewan, Canada
July 20, 2011
Going through some more of last years pictures: found this caterpillar out near Pike Lake while trimming some Lilac bushes on a friend's acreage. It was a fairly cool day and this guy was very docile and easy to photograph.

Moved- not chersis
Moved from Great Ash Sphinx.

This is the somewhat similar ash/ lilac feeder Ceratomia undulosa.

Do you happen to know the date last year when it was found? Or at least the month?

I changed the date to an estimate so that it shows up in the guide as a July record.
