This most curious insect was found chomping on an eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) (Solanum melongena L.) in the
garden. It appears at first to be a large scale insect until it starts
walking around or flies away.

Jack,
Cool looking bug. Your website had a comment about Morning Glory and
Nightshade and I always thought Morning Glory was a Nightshade so I did
a little checking and It looks like the Morning Glory family is part of
the Nightshade order. Don't know if I got the semantics right(Family,
order and such), but eggplants (Solanum melongena L.) (Solanum melongena L.) appear to be on the tortise beetle
approved menu.

click on the see Nightshade link
