Teresa Sphinx Caterpillar and Pentas
This caterpillar is hanging out on the edge of the pot thinking about where it’s going to crawl off to and pupate underground.
I thought a few of them might just dig down into these pots and pupate.
I have 6 pots with pentas in them and the caterpillars were on 4 of the pentas.
This caterpillar will overwinter and emerge as a moth next spring!
Pentas before caterpillars
Pentas after very hungry caterpillars!
See my first post on these caterpillars.
Have a Blessed Day!
