Black swallowtail larva (Papillio polyxenes) on wild parsnip

Photographed at the Fletcher Wildlife Garden. I was fascinated by the chubby feet of this caterpillar. If you look closely, you can see hairs on each 'foot'.

This is such a neat shot, Christine! I wouldn't think to take a shot from this angle. Gorgeous detail.

It sure is a chubby one Christine. A well captured sharp image.
