Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: The caterpillar is living on two purple Angelonia (summer snapdragon). It moves from one Angelonia to the other. I have observed it every day for the past 5 days. It has been sunny and warm (75-85 degrees) this past week. It is always on the flowers and I think it is eating them; I have never observed it on the leaves.
