6 wiggly caterpigglers emerging from their eggs.
And of course my only battery went dead so i only had one chance. 2:1 macro 65mm

Now that i'm a father i guess i'll have to feed them.

Those little buggers look identical to the ones I hatched & posted last week... Sadly they didn't make it. I tried Grape Leaves & Virginia Creeper as they were both supposed to be host plants, but neither worked...They were cats to a Lettered Sphinx Moth. Yours looks like a Sphinx moth as well..

i have tried 6 varieties of ground cover leaves, all were rejected. The orphans have expired.
