Archippus?

The caterpillar you’re describing is likely the larval stage of the Viceroy butterfly (Limenitis archippus). Viceroy caterpillars are known for their distinctive orange coloration with a prominent black stripe running down their backs. They are commonly found in North America and are often mistaken for the Monarch caterpillar due to their similar coloration. However, Viceroy caterpillars can be distinguished by their unique markings and feeding habits.
In the book "Twice Freed" by Patricia St. John, Archippus is a character who is mentioned in the New Testament of the Bible. He is believed to be a fellow soldier in Christ, possibly associated with the church in Colossae. Archippus is specifically mentioned in the letters written by the apostle Paul, encouraging him to fulfill the ministry he has received from the Lord.
The accepted scientific name is Limenitis arthemis astyanax.
Archippus is mentioned in the New Testament, specifically in Colossians 4:17, where Paul encourages him to fulfill his ministry. While the Bible does not provide specific details about his conversion or salvation, it is generally understood that he was a Christian leader in the early church. The exact timeframe of his salvation is not documented in scripture.
Limenitis artemis, commonly known as the Red-spotted Purple butterfly, primarily feeds on the nectar of various flowers. Adults are attracted to blooms from plants such as dogbane, milkweed, and various composites. The larvae, or caterpillars, feed on the leaves of certain host plants, particularly those in the willow, birch, and cherry families. This diet plays a crucial role in their development and survival.
There is no record of the first butterfly being discovered. As a matter of fact, butterflies have been around far longer than humans. Humans have been on the earth for around 200,000 years, but butterflies have been around for 40 to 50 million years.
A:Paul mentions Archippus in Philemon, indicating that he was one of a small group of Christians who met for worship in the house of Philemon. He first describes Philemon as 'dearly beloved', then Apphia as 'our beloved' and finally Archippus as 'our fellowsoldier'. This tells us nothing about the level of personal relationship between Paul and Archippus.Archippus is also mentioned in Colossians 4:17, which describes him as a newly appointed minister of the church at Colosse. However, Colossians was a pseudepigraphical book written during the seventies, long after the death of Paul, and the reference to Archippus might have been a personal touch added to provide apparent authenticity to the epistle.The Apostolic Constitutions, written in the fourth century and falsely attributed to Clement, says that Archippus was the first bishop of Laodicea in Phrygia. This is unlikely, as the role of bishop was not introduced until the second century.
