Spiky assembly

This is a group of Peacock butterfly caterpillars feeding on nettles (their main larval food). It's hard to believe that such a beautiful and colourful butterfly emerges from such a black spiky caterpillar!

Wow

Ewww! On the other hand, they eat nettles and turn into gorgeous butterflies, both very positive behaviors. But.... ewww!

[Babs]

Wow that is amazing. I don't mind that they eat nettles, but we have white cedar moth caterpillars and the strip our cedar tree bare if they get the chance

[Andy]

Quite an amazing group. Not sure I could have gotten that close. Kind of creepy looking.

Wow, yeah, it's hard to believe that a butterfly will come from those spiky critters. Great shot.
