Convolvulushawk -moth caterpillar - Agrius convolvuli

There is something not quite right with the Genus .
This caterpillar is a bonus as I didn’t search for it. When I had enough spottings and got into the car I found the caterpillar on my shirt sleeve. Lucky me.

It's so gorgeous! I agree that the ID is not accepted right though. Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago

When I entered Agrius convolvuli it came up as Aerius above the image. I just did it again and the same is happening. I am sure that Agrius convolvuli is correct. Posted 5 years ago
