These are some of the caterpillars I am rearing as well as those I spotted during my recent butterfly trips :
1. Rhinopalpa polynice – The Wizard
More information about The Wizard’s life history can be found here
2. Daphnis nerii - Oleander Hawkmoth
The caterpillar was feeding on Ceylone Jasmine (Tabernaemontana divaricata) from the Apocynaceae family. Another common larva host plant is Periwinkle (Vinca rosea) from the same family.
3. Athyma sp
I spotted this caterpillar feeding on Uncaria sp.
4. Hairy caterpillar #1
Early instar of Discophora sp., feeds on bamboo.
