Papilio thoas
This caterpillar is mimetizing a lizard (or snake) head
Sorry, I meant Juan! I'm so sorry Juan, I saw Jakubko comment and just assumed it was his spotting. I need to watch that. I still mean my previous comment though. Great spotting and macros!
Thanks Antonio and Nop. I have seen many adults, but day are always flying and very hard to picture
Yes, they are amazing, Juan. It is hard to believe how beautiful their butterflies are!
Thanks Mark, and yes, the bits came out when I scared the caterpillar, but only one time.
