good job guys...

Is this taken and the plants and sticks suitable for the caterpillar it’s a black swallowtail caterpillar and I was wondering if it has a suitable space and is it going to go into a chrysalis soon?

Has been on my outside window for 3 days now

Phoenix, AZ region. It was found on my nephew's shirt inside our house so I can't say what plant it was on. We don't really have any plants outside aside from grass. My family is hoping to raise it into whatever it grows up to be so much help would be appreciated!

Please correct my id if I’m wrong too!

My neighbor found this guy in his warehouse at work and brought him home to me because I raise monarchs (not a pro, first year). But I live in Michigan and from what I’ve read, they’re about to overwinter. I don’t want to disrupt that…
What should I do? I’m prepared to raise him inside or should I release him in hopes that he can find somewhere quickly?
Super new at this, please be kind! Also a huge empath and sometimes I know that gets me in trouble haha. less

I gave him some leaf after recording this. I didnt expect him to become so animated after a few seconds of placing him in my palm lol

this little dude was pretty behind his siblings in growth and thus has not pupated yet, so I made an improvised food mix for him since all the leaves are dying off right now. His green goo <3

Fairly sure it’s moult to 4th instar I haven’t been keeping track XD

These are some caterpillars I've seen relatively recently. Some of these pictures are kinda old but oh well lol

I've also seen some other caterpillars that aren't in these pictures. Caterpillars are cool little bugs! :D

They pretty much popped up overnight. They are eating my desert roses. Are they safe to touch because I would like to relocate them. Also I am in SW Florida

one of them is hanging on a stem but one of its end that is attached to the stem seems to turn black and moist, not really responsive.

the other can be seen in V shape, and its end is moist too.

I found this caterpiller at Kiwanis Park today. A lady walking her dog almost walked right on it. She had her headphones on and couldn't hear that I was telling her to watch her step. It was about 5-6 inches long.

This is a Rustic Sphinx Moth Caterpillar (Manduca rustica), a species of hornworm in the hawk moth/sphinx moth family (Sphingidae).

​Harmless: Despite its large size and formidable look, it cannot sting, bite, or harm humans or pets.

​On the Walkway: When caterpillars reach this final size, they leave their host plants (such as ash trees, desert willow, lantana, or Texas sage) to crawl across the ground looking for loose soil to burrow into and pupate.

​Adult Form: It will turn into a large, fast-flying Rustic Sphinx Moth, which acts as a night-time pollinator for desert blooms.
