hi Oz, 

last week  I bought some flowers in the shop - Antirrhinum - לוע הארי

today I found the attached catterpillar on them. 

can you identify it? 

what do I need to do to help it complete its cycle? the flowers are drying and I want the butterfly to live :-) 

I also asked about it in Tapuz's forum - here

thank you

oh, it's about 2cm long

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply, I was away for a few days in the North.

I don't know the sp. but its probably a Noctuid.

If you can obtain the same plant again it will probably work but I hope

its not too late.

Regards,

Oz
