It is a giant Swallowtail butterfly caterpillar. It will eventually turn into a beautiful, large yellow and black butterfly.
The caterpillar that is green with small fake "snake" eyes is the Spicebush Swallowtail Caterpillar. This caterpillar will turn into the spicebush swallowtail.
From what I know, have learned from research and heard.... it doesn't have a name, other than: tongue Actually it's called 'Forked Tongue'. Because it spits in two different tines at the tip.
TONGUE HERPES only 25% of people get this rare type of STD.
The caterpillar that is red and has pincers on its front is the Ailanthus webworm moth. This caterpillar is a member of the Bagworm moth family.
The possessive form of the noun caterpillar is caterpillar's.Example: The caterpillar's colors are black and red.
The length of the cocoon stages depends on the type of caterpillar. For Monarch butterflies it is 10 days long.
The caterpillar you are referring to is called the Banded Woolly Bear caterpillar.
They use their tongues, with which they pick up particles and leave them to a special organ called vomeronasal organ.
The Vapourer moth caterpillar is hairy and has red spots on their dark gray or black body. They are not a poisonous caterpillar.
the caterpillar of the black swallowtail butterfly I don't think so! I've seen this "worm" on the cover of the National Geographic magazine about 50 years ago - and I've seen this "worm-like" creature on the porch of our house in northern Indiana about 40 years ago. The "worm" is about 5-6 inches long - the "head" is around an inch in diameter - maybe bigger. If I remember correctly, there were little antenna that enabled it to see. There were black & yellow markings on the front of it's "head" that looked like big eyes - the article in the Geographic said these were a protection - to scare potential prey. A black forked tongue flitted out of it's mouth. The "worm" was a bright green color. I have wondered about this little creature for years - it's way too big to be a caterpillar of a butterfly. I've tried putting all kinds of descriptions in GOOGLE, but they all fall short of my "nightmare worm". It's probably not a worm at all, but I don't know what other category to put it in. Reptile? It would be an awfully short, fat snake. Can anyone help me find what this creature is? VL/Indiana
Yes, it does. Like your lips, your tongue will be red because of dehydration. :)
i think its one of those swallowtail caterpillar things
