Caterpillars or larvae are normally bright green in colour with white stripes as well as have black scoli sets (spike-like projections) with blue and orange bases, [5] though these colours may vary. These larvae are normally very brightly coloured because they contain biogenetic chemicals that help to repel predators. [6]
These large, bright green caterpillars may look dangerous, but they are nothing to be afraid of and will eventually turn into a regal moth. These large, bright green caterpillars may look ...
