Camouflage! There are FOUR!!! All gone!

[zoey]

Me too! I wonder what color it's wings will be?

[GreyhoundGirl]

At that rate, it's gonna be a fat butterfly, too. You will have to go on a diet, soon, little bug.

Wow, I didn't spot it at all in the first picture. Perfect camouflage. Hope
that wasn't a favorite plant.

[Laura's Babies]

Gee whiz, how did YOU ever spot it to start with. I think it would be impossiable to see unless you were up close.

[Killearn Kitties]

Oh no! Don't let Eddie see it.

[Edwina's Secretary]

I just went out to check on progress and could hardly find the guy! Took me quite a few minutes....


(A face only a mother could love!)

Not to worry....he is too high and too hidden for our boy Eddie.....

Thats a cute, fat caterpiller you have yourself there!

I think your friend might be either the "Tomato Hornworm" (Manduca
quinquemaculata L.) , which would turn into a Five-Spotted Hawk Moth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manduca_quinquemaculata) -- or a "Tobacco Hornworm" (Manduca sexta L.) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobacco_hornworm).

Heres some more strange-green caterpillars (i've always been facinated in insects!)

Could you please take a ruler and measure the guy?
It's difficult to tell how big he is. Thanks,
