I found this little guy outside. He's an Elephant Hawk Moth caterpillar.
It was due to storm when I found him. At first I left him outside, but I got worried and took him in. So, I'm going to keep him with me until the storm lets up. I put some Fuchsia leaves in a little container for him. (A plant they eat).
He sure loves to move though, lol.
If you're interested in what he turns into, I'll attach an image.

-dies- so cute-
Yus, he is very cute!
Deilephila elphenor are absolutely precious, I wasn’t aware fuchsia was in their list of host plants! How fascinating :0
I agree! They're one of the most beautiful-looking caterpillars and moths I've seen. Especially for where I live, since we aren't known to have very exotic-looking moths.
