Observation notes: A friend of mine gave me a small Hawaiian papaya plant that was grown from seed and I have been babying it over winter hair in North Florida, Jacksonville Florida, when I went to look at it today I realize there were two caterpillars of the , I believe Erinnyis slope, hawk moth, It is fairly cold here and they were quite sluggish. If I had left them on this young plant they would’ve in every leaf and so I decided to cut the leaf off and tie it to another larger papaya tree that I have. We will see how it goes and check them in the morning.
