Suvi writes, "I found him on my shoe in Austin, TX. I'm puzzled because I don't think there is anything in my yard that
he would like to eat. Hmmm. How can I take care of him?"
I indicated that the larva looked mature and was probably done feeding, and I directed Suvi to
"Care of 'found larvae/caterpillars'" at Manduca sexta August 21, 2008, Trina Woodall.
