Isognathus caricae
Isognathus caricae (Sphingidae) is a species of neotropical moth known from Costa Rica, French Guiana, Bolivia, Argentina and Brazil.
The chrysalis, as well as the caterpillar and adults have a beautiful yellow-orange and black coloring.
Larvae have long tails; colouration suggests they are unpalatable to birds.
This is the only Isognathus species that has the dark marginal band of the hindwing upperside being replaced by a series of black streaks along the veins. The forewing has two orangey-brown patches connected below the cell mark, and a smaller basal patch along the inner margin. Otherwise forewings are dark grey.
