Photo take in my backyard never seen it before it was on top of a common plant all by it self.it has Incredible colors to warn predators, yellow to orange and black also has some bright blue very small dots along the body. About 2 cm long, it has an incredible spine armor to protect it´s self.
The butterfly flies year round in the tropical parts found from Costa Rica north through Central America to Mexico.
Congratulations, Gerardo, on an extraordinary spotting (and a favorite oruga of mine)! If there were a Project Noah contest for best caterpillar photo, these would be my vote.
