    For the record, these fat guys are about four inches long. 6 inches seem to be an overestimate.

    PS: Rosalind, we lost the two caterpillars after they were left on the leaves. Sorry about that.

    Hi Flourite ,

    Care to ID this one for me, just shot him at Bukit Timah Forest Reserves today. Believe it is a moth.
