In my opinion, lasiocampidae. No one knows what the caterpillar of the Ussuri thickbill looks like and eats?

Please help me identify the caterpillar. I've already posted it once, but this is my first time here, I can't find where my post is, I'm sorry mol.gif
So, the caterpillar is almost the size of my middle finger, big and thick. We have 4 such dark and one green, they differ only in color, the spots are all the same dark. Found on an island near Vladivostok. They actively ate a plant with pink flowers, then dug into the ground. They've been sitting there for a week now.
I would like to know what kind of butterfly to expect, and whether it is necessary to do something, for example, to water the ground in a jar?

Deilephila elpenor is a medium wine hawk moth. Plant with pink flowers-ivan tea. No need to water anyone. Do not disturb the caterpillars, put the jar in the refrigerator with the onset of cold weather, take it down in May and wait for the butterflies.

Wow, wait until May. And we put them in a big jar. Well, let's waitsmile.gif

Plant-nedotroga glandulifera (Impatiens glandulifera). Wine hawk moth caterpillars can also use it as a food plant.

29.08.2007 11:47, guest: Люба

Kovalevsky, and thank yousmile.gif I have already found a photo of a butterfly, beautifulsmile.gif

Here's another interesting thing: why is one caterpillar green? in appearance, they are the same and in nature they ate almost the same leaf, it seems that they are children of the same butterflysmile.gif

29.08.2007 12:07, omar

There are 2 color forms in the caterpillars of this hawk moth. It occurs even in the offspring of a single butterfly. The green form is much rarer.

Omag, thank you very much, now everything is clearsmile.gif We will wait for the offspringsmile.gif

All right, but there is a caveat. Imago may be released later this year. In order not to be excruciatingly painful to look at freaks with unspread wings in a jar, you MUST have a support on which the hawkmoth can dry off. In my terrarium on the balcony, they came out in mid-October.
Yes, and a jar in the refrigerator to push... You can put the pupae in moss and in a vegetable box, it will be more compact.

Juglans, isn't this a sawfly's false caterpillar?

I don't know...

31.08.2007 11:31, Tyomochkin

It looks like a false caterpillar... Very similar!

The second summer I find a caterpillar of the same Hawk Moth...
Probably so gray...There are eye-shaped spots on the head...Like a cobra... Only last year she died in my house... weep.gifI never found out what to feed her...And this year I don't want to repeat the old mistakes...
Help...I'M REALLY CURIOUS ABOUT WHO IT IS.??

01.09.2007 7:40, Vabrus

Definitely not a sawfly. IMHO, this is a scoop, and what appears to be the sixth pair of false legs is a dark dot on the substrate.

It's a sawfly! I saw similar ones in our MO.

Thank you for your answers. I think when the butterfly appears, the question will disappear more or less with the view)))

I found a few caterpillars the other day, so help me identify them!
1. Isn't this a sawfly, by any chance?"
picture: ____________145.jpg
2. The bear caterpillar, that's what it is... maybe Arctia villica?
picture: _________Arctia_villica_1_1_______.jpg
picture: _________Arctia_villica_1_2_______.jpg
3. Caterpillar Laothoe populi or Smerinthus ocellatus? I'm more inclined to the former.
picture: _________Laothoe_populi_1_2_________.jpg
and why is it so small for a hawk moth? after wintering, will he continue to eat?

22.10.2007 8:22, okoem

Sawfly and Arctia villica-I agree. I don't know about the caterpillar.

to omar:
how do you distinguish it from the caterpillars of Laothoe populi or Smerinthus ocellatus? They are so similar, and the color is changeable.

23.10.2007 14:15, omar

Only the linden hawk moth has red-brown or brick-red side stripes. Ocular or poplar are devoid of this. In ocellates, the lateral stripes are more often white, in poplar-yellow. In poplar, the caterpillar is rather green, in ocular-turquoise shade. But I can't tell the difference between ocular and blind people.

I beg to disagree with your definition, Mr. Omar. The linden hawk moth caterpillar has a characteristic dark spot on its butt. I illustrate with a picture from lepsIt.

By the way, yes, a spot on the ass on all photos of linden c caterpillars leps.it.
>Only the linden hawk moth has red-brown or brick-red side stripes.
Well if you look at the aforementioned one leps.it both the ocellate and poplar t have caterpillars with 2 pink spots on the sides of each stripe.

> > in ocellates, the lateral stripes are more often white, in poplar-yellow
..
There is no blind man in my area.
And I thought immediately on poplar or ocular due to the fact that the caterpillar crawled on an aspen tree.
So, after all, it is poplar or ocular.

I think it's poplar. On ukmoths.org.uk it is written that the ocular spike has a bluish color. And this one has a green spike with a reddish one.
I quote you:
------------------------------
The green caterpillars recall those of the Poplar Hawk-moth (Laothoe populi), but have a bluish-colored spike at the rear.
------------------------------
By the way, in the Crimea poplar is common, and ocular is rare. I don't know what it's like in Severodonetsk.

Personally, I have repeatedly seen linden caterpillars without a red-brown anal plate (this is what it is called, Mr. okoyem), but only at a young age. In adulthood, it is present in all linden hawk moth caterpillars. But I've never seen any poplar eyes or poplars marked with red on the side. This is my own experience. It's just that when I was a kid, I had fun catching females, getting eggs, and breeding butterflies out of them. Then usually the brood was released. So I have a lot wink.gifof experience, so all kinds of common hawkmoth in the middle zone have passed through me, and repeatedly. Moreover, the percentage of irregular caterpillars, without a red-brown anal plate, in the offspring of one butterfly can be quite large. The color of the horn can vary: blue, red, yellow, green. By the way, please note that the false legs of the caterpillar in the picture are also marked in red, which also does not happen in poplar or ocular. The only thing that worries me is that in young linden caterpillars, the head on top (on the tip) is usually also red, red stripes often go on the sides of the head.

Ahem, I wouldn't have thought of that. In any case, Yuri Budashkin does not mention the rarity of the eyeglass.

24.10.2007 9:21, omar

I looked at the photo on lepsIt. and was surprised. There is nothing similar with poplar caterpillars in central Russia - I mean pictures from Italy. So, now I think, in Ukraine everything can be, probably.

24.10.2007 10:35, Сергей-Д

we have all these 3 species are common, and poplar even very frequent. I found fresh linden trees in the city on an elm tree several times, although in theory it can be on an aspen tree. In general, I don't know what to think now, the only option is to grow it
