Default Handsome Bug
I found this good looking guy perched on a small palm in my pocket garden. He's a Spotted Oleander Caterpillar Moth Empyreuma affinis. I don't have Oleanders but my next door neighbor does. The caterpillars are not considered to be very destructive.

Thanks, Rosie. My photography skills leave something to be desired, but this time I was fortunate to have a photographic subject.
