Monarch caterpillar

Danaus plexippus caterpillar

Description:

The monarch caterpillar is characterized by its distinctive appearance, with a vibrant green body adorned with a series of narrow white, yellow, and black stripes running along its length. It has a cylindrical shape with a slightly segmented body and several pairs of tiny prolegs towards the rear. As it feeds on a leaf, you can observe its characteristic behavior of munching on the green foliage, leaving behind small, irregular holes in the leaf's surface (ChatGPT AI, 2023)
