On the first of October I caught a really cool caterpillar that was in front of our bathroom. Research has found it to be an Oleander Moth larva, thanks to whats that bug?. They feed on the Oleander plant. The Adults lay millimeter-sized eggs that hatch into small furry bright orange caterpillars. These feed on Oleander bushes and eat their fill of leaves until they reach the right size to form a chrysalis. Each chrysalis undergoes a metamorphosis or change within its hard covering until an Oleander Moth hatches. The Oleander Moth can produce up to three generations a year. I got the picture of the adult Oleander Moth off of whats that bug?.
