Neighbour's maid, wide-eyes frantically calling out for me and pointing in panic at our Periwinkle Vinca; there were huge and green ever-hungry green crawlies. She saw 7 of these caterpillars; so far we had 4 in a container, missed out one camourflaged so well later to be killed because in contact with pesticide.
The biggest fella about 4-inch long and nearly 1-inch big in dia - so fat, juicy and slow moving.
Ladies were grossed out at the sight of it.
Finally it made sense of those green balls stuffs on the concrete ledge - caterpillars' waste (shit). Hmmm it's fertilizer time anyway. ;-P
