I Have Seen Some Creatures Making Themselves Invisible,

and this one has got to be one of the best I have (not) seen so far,


photograph Wohin Auswandern/Flickr, the creature is a Common Baron caterpillar, (Euthalia aconthea), the butterfly native to India and Southeast Asia,

the nymphalid butterfly lays its eggs on the back of mango leaves, and it’s from these eggs that the master of camouflage known as the common baron emerges from, as it grows in size, the larvae develops a yellow line across its back, making it all but invisible, amazing!
