The head of the caterpillar. The orange dots are not eyes, the eyes are the small dots on the edge of the orange. These larvae turn into striking butterflies: https://pbase.com/laroseforest/image/113441902

A remarkable larva, almost like it has a green cloak hiding a dark body. Can't say I've ever seen s skipper larva - I must look harder.

He has the look of an alien being. A super nice shot.

Incredible detail! I don't think I've ever seen a photo that shows a caterpillars head as well as this.
