Manduca Sexta

Tobacco Hornbill!

Nick and I found this sweet caterpillar and after a little research found out it is a tobacco/tomato hornbill. It is a beautiful caterpillar that apparently reeks havoc on gardens. It had four pairs of front legs and four pairs of back "sucker" legs. If you want to see what this thing looks like when it grows up check this link.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Manduca_sexta_female_sjh.JPG
