Oleander Moth Caterpillar [Syntomeida epilais]

    This pair of Oleander Moth caterpillars were found on a large Oleander bush in a busy commercial area in southeastern Duval County, Florida on 11/16/2004. The pair, along with several others, were busily devouring the leaves as is evidenced by the image below. Judging by the large number of eggs also present on the plant, they will soon be joined by a virtual army of helpers.
