Bedstraw Hawkmoth Caterpillar
Dear Curious Kids,
This is a Bedstraw Hawkmoth Caterpillar, Hyles gallii, and according to Butterflies and Moths of North America: “Fully-grown caterpillars pupate and overwinter in loose cocoons in shallow underground burrows.” We suspect your individual was searching for a good location for pupation.
