I think those spikes are used to ward off predators also. Nicely captured.

I just love the colouring. Will it turn into a moth or a butterfly?

I have absolutely no idea. We have both butterflies and moths that are fair sized. However after a search of the web I 'think' it could be the caterpillar of the Hercules Moth. Originally Posted by Kris V

Its a beautiful creature, my only grip is that the head/tail
is a little out of focus but I am just nit picking

Not a nit pick. Fact is that I for reasons that escape me now focused all my shots on the head. But the tail end was so pretty that focused or not I included it in the series. Originally Posted by Chri5

As odd as this sounds the Hercules moth is all browns and oranges. Originally Posted by bnnrcn
