I found this green elephant hawk-moth caterpillar with the patterns looking like big cartoon eyes.

I gave it leaves from a pomegranate tree, fig tree, grapevine, and long grass leaves. It only ate from the grapevine leaves once then it stopped eating for hours. Is this the wrong diet or do they just eat so little? Also do I need to give it water or is the moisture from the leaves enough?

The shot is from the classes of Al-Muwatta by Imam Malik - Sheikh Said al-Kamali in Morocco
