The above is a picture of a caterpillar that we're trying to identify. While we're at it, can you also identify what US state this quarter represents?
This little fellow hails from the Miami Florida area - born and raised or actually hatched and currently being raised. My niece Alyssa is the proud keeper of this critter and she's doing a wonderful job raising him. We believe it's some sort of Hawk Moth, possibly a Privet Hawk Moth, but we're just not sure? Google searches return a variety of hawk moths with many of them residing in the UK, not Florida.
Perhaps this fellow will go through some changes as it continues to grow, like changing colors for example or eventually changing into a moth, that will provide us just the clue we need to make the identification.
So, if you have any ideas on what type of caterpillar this little fellow is, please post a comment.
