Atala (Caterpillar and Chrysalis)

Description:

The atala as a pupa are an orange color. In the second image there in an atala larva (a.k.a. caterpillar) which is a red color with yellow spots along the back. The red color is a warning sign to birds and other predators that it is poisonous.

Habitat:

I found the atala in Fairchild tropical botanic garden. Fairchild tropical botanic garden, is one of the few places you can see a successful population of these what was thought to be extinct in Florida from 1937 until 1959.
