Canadian tiger swallowtail butterfly caterpillar (Papilio canadensis

Larose Forest

Nestled onto a Prunus shrub, this small caterpillar has some growing to do yet before pupating. You can just about see the false eyes on top; the real eyes are the little brown dots near the bottom of its head. The caterpillar turns into a spectacular butterfly: http://www.pbase.com/laroseforest/image/163414213

Great shot. The camouflage works so well. From the thumbnail I thought it was an eye. "V"
