I''M A SEASONAL SHAPE! [Insect Pictures]

I get these little guys every year. They are Spicebush Swallowtail caterpillars..they like the sassafras trees in my back yard. I think they are adorable. They are green in color until they get ready to pupate and then they turn yellow. They always show up in late September.

They are just the cutest little things. I love it when I find one. They always pose so nice.. of course those aren't eyes, they are just markings to scare off potential preditors. #8954842Mary Timman October 08, 2010
