    Default New caterpillas from a park

    Spotted these 2 when I was walking my GF's dog earlier on...



    About 8.5cm long



    About 7.5cm long



    Showing the eye spots when I disturbed the grass.



    Host plant : Chiretta (Andrographis paniculata )

    Hi Michael, these are all hawkmoth cats, so the thread will need to be transferred for Roger to have a go.

    Thanks...

    I am guessing either Hippotion Rosetta or Theretra Alecto.
