A couple of neat sphingid caterpillars I found last night. I took my black light flashlight to the Virginia creeper at my parents' house and these are what I've found so far. They have a lot of Virgina creeper around so hopefully these are just the first of many neat discoveries. The first pic is Darapsa myron, the Virgina creeper sphinx or hog sphinx. The second is Sphecodina abbottii, Abbott's sphinx.

So do all caterpillars become moths or butterflies, what do they become?

@Insectra Ask a question and get a great answer, thanks.

Good catch!! I am still anxiously awaiting Hemaris thisbe larvae. There have been several adults around lately, Inc one flying around my Kolkwitzia, a possible host plant. I'll keep an eye out on my Honeysuckle, Kolkwitzia and Arrowood for signs of these beauties

Posted by InsectraA cute grey treefrog (Hyla versicolor) that I found in my birch tree, this afternoon. His camouflage was great and I only discovered him when I heard him calling.

Posted by InsectraSpring amphibian migration in Pennsylvania is well under way! Most of these are Jefferson's salamanders, one of our earliest moving amphibians and a species of special concern in Pennsylvania.
