| Tersa
Sphinx Moth Caterpillar Tersa Sphinx Xylophanes tersa (Species) | Though this is considered a fairly common species in the eastern U. S. there is no record of it in Tennessee (where this photo was taken). Thanks to my sister-in-law JoAnne Advey for locating these in her yard and providing them with her Pentas to eat. I should also note that these caterpillars are about the size of a person's finger. | |
