1st Instar of Spicebush Swallowtail caterpillar

2 years 10 months ago #718675 by Screamin Scott
This (I believe) the 1st instar of a Spicebush Swallowtail caterpillar. I found several today hidden in curled-up leaves of the Sassafrass tree. Note how small they are, my thumb is in the image...BTW, it's a common thing to find caterpillars inside curled-up leaves. They hide from predators there during the day and come out at night to feed.
