Moved
Moved from Butterflies and Moths. You can always tell where your image is by looking at the blue text above the image (or by clicking on INFO or IMAGES). Now the text says Sphingidae, which means it has been identified as the larva of a Sphinx Moth and moved to the page for Sphinx Moth caterpillars. Once here, an expert on Sphinx Moth caterpillars will stop by and identify it to species, or you can look through the Sphinx Moth caterpillars and identify it yourself. Happy hunting!

Thanks!
I am new to all of this. I'd never seen anything like this before and just wanted to know what it was!

Can anyone tell me what this caterpillar is?
... and when it's moved where does it go?
