It's a moth caterpillar of some sort, obviously grows its wings after a short period.
I found something similar recently :thumbsup

And vinegar, I know he has lots of that :1orglaugh




See you soon Keith, looking forward to it brother.

LOL, my god yall are so silly. :)

It's merely a larva (caterpillar) of one of your native species of swallowtail butterflies. The eyespots are used as deterrents against predators, much like those of many moths in the Saturniidae family.

The entomology site I contribute taxonomic data to does not cover Central American insects, but I'm going to look around and see if I can nail down a specific genera for you.

At any rate, no need to freak out - if you happened to know what it's host plant was you could rear it into adulthood. I'll post again shortly. :)

I was close :D

This is the thing i come across here in the UK.

i'd hit it!

I can't find a perfect match to that larva, but I know it's some swallowtail (Papilionidae) genera.

On another note, I'm trying to rear 40-50 Automeric cecrops pamina larvae, which look like this:

and some hot peppers too :thumbsup

I hope it haven't eaten your couch or any metallic objects in your house yet?:1orglaugh:1orglaugh Freaky little thing! :pimp

Damn this is ugly. This is pic from new niche :D

I bet if you tied that thing up in some latex, you could put it up someones ass and it would be a good ride.

Looks like some bad ass motherfucker, watch out :)

Call a Scientologist immediately!!!!!!!!

Well thanks for all the replies and my dogs are completely fine. I agree after seeing other pics it's just a butterfly/moth larvae. Still, it had one hell of a freaky face and the maid yelled like crazy :1orglaugh

And yes, it tasted delicious! :pimp (j/k...or am I?)

Yeah man, see you very shortly - enjoying the new place ?

wow, fuck! :)

Its a baby Lochness Monster. GET THAT THING OUT OF YOUR HOUSE BEFORE IT GETS BIG AND EATS YOUR FAMILY!!

lol :P
