Thanks! Yes, I am slowly going through my pictures one by one filling more detail. I have been very busy with classes. They will eventually all be updated.

Nice spotting! I was looking for one of these in Colombia last year. Didn't find the adult but did manage to spot one of the huge caterpillars. bayucca is right with the ID, so it would be great to update this spotting with the correct info.
