Spotted this Tiger Swallowtail caterpillar on the driveway as I was backing up the mower. I moved it to a safer place.

I'm going to paint some eyes on my forehead to confuse my friends. Ha ha.

What a stunning shot you got here! Hope it pupates safely (thanks to you for moving it to a safe spot). V

The “eyes “ are eerily beautiful. Excellent. V

Wow, that's amazing you were able to do that, and what a fine close up too! V

It was lost? Or perhaps seeking a location to pupate?

What a great find and good rescue. Super macro of the caterpillar with both the face and the distinctive markings.

Glad you moved it to a safer spot. It's disguise makes it look inedible.

Always good to see these rather odd beginners and know one day they will flutter above your head. V

Those two false eyes are something else! V
