Bug of the Day
I was coming back in after a disappointing night at the lights last week, and came across this glorious chonkbeast on some Virginia creeper growing under my porch. This is a Pandora sphinx moth caterpillar (Eumorpha pandorus). Look at its squishy little donut feeties!!

@totally-sarcasm submitted: Found this guy at work, put them in a nice tree after I took this picture. I think they're a sphinx moth caterpillar? But theres so many species so I'd appreciate if you could ID further! North Dakota/Minnesota border
Yes, definitely a sphinx in the genus Eumorpha, most likely an achemom sphinx, but I’d need to see a better photo of the side to say for sure. This tubby pal is ready to pupate and will be climbing to the ground soon to find a place to dig into some nice dirt :)

Sinningia eumorpha is native to Brazil. At one point S. eumorpha was very widely used in hybridizing. It was able to cross with micro-miniature species like S. pusilla and S. concinna, with the resulting hybrids being the first “miniature Sinningias”. Examples include S. ‘Dollbaby’ and S. ‘Cindy’. These proved to be the gateway to the plethora of miniature Sinningis we now see in cultivation.

time lapse of a banded sphinx moth caterpillar (Eumorpha fasciatus) devouring a water primrose leaf
(Florida, 9/18/22)
E. fasciatus caterpillars are heavily polymorphic and come in several different color morphs- those stripy rainbow ones are from the same population as the green one.
another neat thing about these guys is that most caterpillars drown easily, but since water primrose (Ludwigia) usually grows in standing water, E. fasciatus caterpillars have a propensity for swimming and are often seen wriggling their way through lakes when they need to come ashore to pupate.

Moth???
In the article I drew these photos from it says it's called Mosera apollinairei but I can't find any info on them
Moths are currently undergoing a lot of taxonomic revision so that might be why
The article says Dognin discovered them, and he worked mainly on South American moths so yeah it's probably from around there.

Bug of the Day
The other night I was out and saw this big caterpillar on a walnut sapling in my yard. For some reason I decided to document the host plant before the cat itself, and of course Sir Caterpillar of Grippyfeet decided to yeet himself into the grass before I could get a photo. So I was pretty psyched to find him pretty much back in the same spot the next night. @eumorpha-dream says it is some kind of underwing moth (Catocala sp.). I love the little white polka dots around the spiracles!

Hi, Blu! Just thought I'd share this neat little friend I saw on my porch. I'm no bug expert so I could tell you what sort of friend this is, but hey, I figured you'd want to see it anyways. Look how cool its wings are!
It's a pandora sphinx moth, Eumorpha pandorus! You should see their caterpillars! :]
Thank you for showing me! It's a beaut!
