the 2nd pic looks like Oleander Hawk Moth (Daphnis nerii).
Ya, look like that moth in the photo highlight here http://butterfly.nss.org.sg/home/index.html
Thx. I didn't know that tissue paper could be of any help.
Thx LC Goh n Yong San. I thought it was dapnis nerii bt bcoz of the different food plant(adenium obesum, apocynaceae) and more colourful than usual caterpillar, i thought it could be a closely related sp. Wah, this creature sure is greedy.

Here is the pic of the somewhat atypical cat. I thought the cats were green with blue spiracle openings?

They normally are. Here is an old photo of an normally coloured cat taken with my dearly departed Box Brownie. I do not think this cat was very well! Just a suggestion, but could the different colouration be due to the fact the cat was about to pupate?
Probably not, Les. I haf reared two cats of the same sp. before n they were coloured much like urs even when they were in their 1st instar, which is only a few mm in length as compared to 12 cm in the latest instar(moths seem to haf more instars ). This cat was orange from the start. Btw, r those dropppings hanging from the cat's behind?
