Abbott's sphinx
Sphecodina abbottii

Observation date: July 05, 2012
Submitted by: britta
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: The caterpillar fell down from some wooden beams outside. It was about 4 1/2 inches long. The shiny 'eye' seems to be the back end of it. And it was heavy! I'm wondering what it is...
