Spurge hawkmoth caterpillar (Hyles euphorbiae), #7892

Burnt Lands Provincial Park

This photo was taken a year ago to the day. Early July is the time to find these large colourful caterpillars which feed on leafy spurge and cypress spurge. The head is on the left side! Sphinx caterpillars have a 'horn' at the rear end.
