That's One Colorful Cat! Certainly in the running for the most flamboyant caterpillar! I believe this is a Spurge Hawk Moth (Hyles euphorbiae), a European species introduced to the US in an effort to control leafy spurge. ![]() |

Cool banner Laurie! Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. |

Now that's a designer caterpillar. Beautifully patterned, deserving of the headliner page. |

Awesome cat!!! Great banner Laurie! I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown |

I love this! What was the host plant? edited Never mind, there's a reason it's called a spurge hawk moth! |
