Description
This is a pair of Pipevine Swallowtail Larvae that were feeding on a vine like plant chewing on either side of it.. They do this in order to make them poisoness and thus avoid predation.
My mate Jim Ryder (Nameless_Wildness) and I spent the afternoon on a boiling hot day at my local Butterfly house and did not see any Butterflies of this species there.. Which is a bit of a mystery as I am fairly certain this is what they are..

I've often said that the people that make monster movies need not go too far for inspiration, no further than their own backyard and this shot is a prime example of that some insects save their size would make great monster models. Awesome macro and great title!!!!
