something a bit different and unusual and surprisingly beautiful as well. this is a caterpillar at the butterfly farm yesterday. i have never took a close up of a caterpillar before and i was astounded to see the attractive markings on its wee face. the guy at the farm was very informative and was telling us how these creatures are poisonous. their bodies emit a small amount of venom to protect them from prey. if you touch one then put your finger in your mouth without ashing your hands you will have a very painful experience. if you look slightly to the right just slightly under the caterpillar you will also see a small egg thats been laid on the leaf
