Field Notes

Description:

I have found many (more now) of this Caterpillars and I would like help with an ID....Found three of this Caterpillars very close but in two different plants, one on Flame Vine, "Triquitraque", Pyrostegia Venusta and two on Red Torch Ginger "Baston de Emperador", Etlingera Elatior. They were all different sizes the one on Flame Vine about and inch and a half long.

Notes:

Added another picture.

After 9 days of feeding 2 of the caterpillar got very large and are gone, I just can not find any Cocoons anywhere!? The other 2 small ones are still feeding, I would appreciate an ID. Thanks in advance.
