My dad said we should name a caterpillar after a star player on the Cal football team in honor of it's national #2 ranking. DeSean Jackson Jr., named after the electrifying punt returner and wide receiver, is about 2.5mm long. In about two weeks he'll be 20 times this size.
The underside of the Common Blue Morpho Butterfly gives little evidence of the fluorescent colour of the top of the wings.
