Fwd: Lrg navy larva w/ thin white bands, spatulate tentacles - Austin, TX - on Cissus - Noctuidae ??

[Mike Quinn]

Looks like Ron Votaw nailed it. I had seen Xerociris wilsonii listed as
hosting on Cissus, but I think I dismissed it as I thought the larva was too
big to be that imago... Mike Quinn, Austin

Looks like larva of the moth, Xerociris wilsonii.
I reared some broods of it this year; life cycle photos at:
