Do you see what I see?

Look very closely.
Can you see him now?
I am amazed at how well this guy camouflages himself. He looks just like the leaves he is surrounded by. Besides being a beautiful bight green,this caterpillar is very large. He is
 5 inches long and about 3/4 inches wide.  
I have been watching him all weekend. He is enjoying a steady diet of, bleeding heart vine.
Can anyone tell me what caterpillar this is?
Have a great day!

  1. I think he might be some kind of sphinx moth caterpillar. Try googling it and see what you think.

  2. Thanks Amy, When I returned home from the island I was able to look him up in my butterfly books. I agree that he is a sphinx moth caterpillar.
