Tobacco Hornworm - Manduca sexta

Tobacco Hornworm - Manduca sexta
League City, TX, USA, Galveston County, Texas, USA
July 26, 2012
Size: Approx. 3 in.
I had this caterpillar identified here as a Tobacco Hornworm/Carolina Sphinx a few days ago. I was able to get a better photo of him now that he is larger and thought I would submit it for use of the site. I wasn't sure if there was another place I should submit photos (of bugs I already have an ID on) so I thought this would be the best place to put it. If there is another location to submit photos of ID'd bugs, let me know and I will submit them there in the future. I hope this photo is of use to you!
