Big hornworm on a leaf of aroid potetoes

A big (about 3inch) hornworm (a larva of hawk moth) were found on a leaf of aroid.
The appearance is so weird that it remind us of a larva form of "Alien".

It's not only the appearance that I'm scared by but the appetite is so high.

I got rid out of it,buried it into a soil and finally stomp on it to kill.

It's very lucky for my wife and daughter who were not there and didn't see that worm.

Can you guess what if they had been there? I believe they would scream out!!

私もさすがにビビリました、、、。
蛇の目が体についているのは天敵の鳥から身を守るためだそうですね。
