Eyed Hawkmoth Caterpillars

We have been rearing some Eyed Hawkmoth Caterpillars for a few weeks now and the largest ones must be getting ready to pupate. There is quite a variation in colour from lime green to a softer green. First four images focus stacked (second two needed a bit of retouching before saving so may redo these stacks) - 80mm Fuji Macro. Last two using 50mm Zeiss macro with 16mm extension rings - their rear 4 pairs of false feet are like clam shells with lots of internal teeth that can open and grip any surface.
