Dear experts,
I had a navyaschivy, maybe childish question.
I really want to know and see which of the butterfly caterpillars is the most "scary", and which is the most beautiful (in your opinion) in the world?
Don't be silly, I just really want to know! smile.gif

The most beautiful caterpillar of any hawk moth fat and beautiful smile.gif
The most dangerous caterpillars live in the equatorial forests of Brazil (unfortunately I don't remember the specific name) the hairs covering their body cause fatal pulmonary edema

And I think that these are Brahmaeidae caterpillars up to the fifth age. And the most beautiful ones are hawk moth and saturnia caterpillars. By the way, I was once sent the pupae of a large hawk moth from Cuba. When I opened the package, it was just awesome-12 cm in length and 4 cm in thickness.

If it's not a secret, what kind of view? And what is the body length of a hatched adult? Maybe this is the biggest hawk moth in the world?
