Need help to identify this caterpillar we just found on our orange tree!
Quite an interesting critter, indeed...

Cheers,

had one of these on Lazarus (my lime tree) last year. After having just fought off the dreaded tomato horn worms (decimated a cherry tomato bush and put a big ol dent in my pablano plant), I didn't take any chances and I removed this critter. I wish I'd have checked it out online first now. 8(

Pretty butterfly.
