Huge Hornworm Moth!

I have put a few horn worms in the cage a couple times. And there's always 1 missing and I figured that it got eaten when I wasn't looking. Today I want playing "fishing" with my sav and all of a sudden I looked to the other end of the tank and a giant moth, came out of nowhere. Ugliest moth ever.. so I guess it must have burrowed and transformed after a month. The sav saw it and went for it, and while was getting attacked it squirted a bunch of liquid at least 1 foot from it's butt and almost got me and my wife, she screamed both times it squirted haha.. it was gross but potato(my sav) enjoyed it. haha
