Took me a bit to figure out the orientation of this interesting critter. Nicely presented.

Those white eyes are a serious distraction, quite illusory.

Amazing find! We're the opposite. We've seen the moth, but not the caterpillar!

C’est une chenille spectaculaire. Elle est incroyable.

Quite the specimen. Well spotted and captured. (I just now realized that the specimen is indeed spotted !)
