HUGE Caterpillar! ID ?

Just found a huge caterpillar while harvesting some potatoes. Never seen one this big in my life. Anyone recognise it or know what butterfly or moth variety it belongs to? http://s288.photobucket.com/user/uyq...illar.jpg.html Normally I kill caterpillars but didn't have the heart to kill this magnificent beast despite it scoffing my potato foliage; so I released it elsewhere in the garden. What a gorgeous creature! The trouble is it may die if it can't eat the right food. Try emailing the photo to Le Paradis Tropical in Honfleur, perhaps? -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |
