Field Notes

Description:

Looks like a Hawk Moth Caterpillar. Regurgitates an odorless green liquid with bits of leaves inside. Please help me identify this beautiful Caterpillar.

Habitat:

Eats and lives on a Grape vine in my garden.

Notes:

Is this regurgitated liquid toxic? I think it is as the liquid is odorless but I would like someone to just confirm if this is true or not. Thanks!
