Caterpillars: Swallowtail

[ocrdu]

I have posted about this one before, but I am posting it again for completeness in this series on caterpillars, so there.

This is the caterpillar of the swallowtail (Papilio machaon), koninginnenpage in Dutch:

^{Olympus Stylus 1s, 28mm, ISO100, f5.6, 1/80s}

Spectacular, isn't it? The butterfly is also beautiful, have a look at it on Faltermann's blog here.

This is the last posting in this series for now; I'm all out of caterpillars.

Thanks for watching!
