Pandora Sphinx Caterpillar - Eumorpha pandorus

I spotted this caterpillar on a tree while hiking. It caught my eye because it was engaging in a strange back-and-forth rhythmic motion, which had a 'dry humping' vibe.




Habitat: Found on a Parthenocissus quinquefolia vine (Virginia creeper) that was growing up a tree; Mostly deciduous forest
