1 year has passed, a #caterpillar decided to hitch a ride from a park and glued itself on my trainers. Setup a rudimentary box to let it complete its lifecycle stage and it emerged beautifully. This year on our lime trees, we found another caterpillar and decided to watch it grow #limeswallowtail
bright green caterpillar inside a rolled up lime leaf with its brown setae (sensory hairs) on its head and 2 fake eyes (eye spots).
