Stage Three - _TNY_4116

A 3rd instar caterpillar of the common yellow swallowtail (Papilio machaon), also known as the old world swallowtail, shot at 2.4:1 magnification.

 

This one and a dozen of its brethren were all over the large leaves of my mother-in-law's purple angelica (Angelica gigas).
