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!
