Several Theretra species larvae can develop lateral patches like this, Without seeing the head and thorax: it is impossible to verify the species for certain, but T. latreillii is the commonest.

@ibaird I’m the same, but I couldn’t find an option to Verify Theretra sp. as a Genus (without the selection at Species level)… & Theretra latreillii is the closest I know of so I Suggested that as the Species option. Is there a way we can setup Theretra Genus?

Theretra latreillii
