This caterpillar is going through an instar.
I think that this caterpillar, might be one of the 3 species, of the Death's-head hawkmoth. The name, Death's-head hawkmoth, refers to any one of the three moth species, of the genus Acherontia ( Acherontia atropos, Acherontia styx, and Acherontia lachesis ).
I think that this is some type of hawk-moth caterpillar.
Hi Eve4, welcome to Project Noah! maplemoth66 is correct, this is a caterpillar. If you edit your spotting, you can drag the map pin to the correct location where you found it.
what ocean was this found in. Location is very important in helping for ID
I think that this might be some kind of caterpillar.
