I was amazed! Again!
😊





In later few posts I was showing you moths of Sphingidae family, like Small Elephant Hawk-moth:

…and Oak moth:

It is characteristic that caterpillars of Sphingidae family rise in an attitude that reminds of the Sphinx, and have a spike at the top of its back.


I just found one of them!

Moths of that family are the most beautiful, but look at that caterpillar! It is huge!


I do not recognize which one this is, but I suppose it is in one of its last phase, concluding by its size.

Great photo!
Beautiful insects !!

Thank you!
Eccentric taste, isn't it?

Amazing macro shots! Well captured!

Thank you!
It was just mobile phone :)

Oh it is huge...
and kindof pretty :)

Kind of :) It depends on affinity. When you have an eccentric taste it may be quite pretty.

I really like the big ones although that big size means that they eat a lot

If there were many of them I wouldn't be amazed at all :D
