Acherontia atropos caterpillar

in photography •  7 years ago 

Greetings Ladies & Gentlemen,

For my first post on steemit, I present you this beautiful Acherontia atropos caterpillar !


(excuse for the crappy phone quality which doesn't do it justice :p)

I found the pretty friend on a tree in my backyard. He turns out to be quite rare in Reunion Island where i live.

After a quick search i found that it is one of the three species of death's-head hawkmoth :O

Hope to see it again soon with its majestic wings Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
