Found larvae on milkweedSo, I was taking a few monarch larvae off of the milkweed in my yard and found this larvae on the milkweed too. Any ideas on what moth/butterfly it might be?http://www.merrypic.com/viewer.php?file=j9civlwipvfjgt2fvoik.jpg http://www.merrypic.com/viewer.php?file=e8tt6lxpv87jw5hfrp92.jpg |

It might be a White-lined Sphinx moth larva, I'm 75% sure.

Hmm. Other internet pics show that larvae with a horn? I guess I don't get to find out what it is. I think it escaped. It wasn't in with the other larvae today, unless it buried itself to pupate. |

Hell all
Most sphyngids have the horn as larvae Most likely it buried itself to pupate Soon we will know for sure what it is Francisco |

Spodoptera litura, I think. Do a google image search and it'll bring up larvae that look alot like it. It also could have buried to pupate because it's a moth caterpillar. | ||

Just another reason for me to start up some milkweed in my yard.
Let us know what it turns into. |

Looks like it. If it emerges from the pot at some point I'll know for sure. I'm trying to start up a Monarch aviary right now to last until I can find more Anise Swallowtails to start breeding them again. They were the absolute prettiest. |
