A brightl and colourful death's head larvae caterpillar captured eating it's way through a (Solanum) Chilean potato tree.

The larvae are stout, reaching 120–130 mm, with a prominent tail horn. All three species have three larval color forms: typically, green, brown, and yellow. Larvae do not move much, and will click their mandibles or even bite if threatened. When mature, they burrow underground and excavate a small chamber where they pupate.
