Description
Nikon 7900 image.
Well I know it is a green caterpillar with eye spots. I am pretty sure it will become a Swallowtail Butterfly. It might be a Zebra Swallowtail caterpillar but I am somewhat confused by the horn on the tail ,however, after doing some on-line research, I find out that some caterpillars molt several times before they spin their cocoon and metamorph into a Butterfly. Supposedly the horn becomes smaller and smaller after each molting untill it is gone.
Whatever it may become, it is pretty neat in this stage and reminds me of a cartoon character, lol.
I will post one more image of it tomorrow.
I hope this pic was worth the click and I thank those who enjoyed the Robber Fly series.
