This is the caterpillar of the Blue winged butterfly and then the next stage is called a chrysalis. You can see in the second shot when touched, it draws out its horns in defence. When the caterpillar is full grown and stops eating, it becomes a pupa. Someday I may be fortunate enough to photograph the actual butterfly.

Lovely to learn a bit more about flowers with names and birds around us.
ReplyDeleteLooks a bit like a prawn. Nicely captured, Margaret.
