Inchworm on Curry Plant
Dear Curious Gardener,
This is an Inchworm or Spanworm in the family Geometridae. We believe it might be Hyposidra talaca based on an image posted to the Butterfly House website. Though curry is not listed as a food plant, the site indicates: “It is polyphagous, eating the foliage of many plants including the crops.”
