thats a well camouflaged caterpillar, but one that has quite some resemblance to the eventual moth,

i wonder if the other moths are scared of those pretend eyes!??

Mother nature knows best.

I love moths & butterflies, so think this one is lovely.

I like butterflies but not moths. They scare me. This was a gorgeous (huge) and mysterious one . Much more intriguing in real life then in this picture.
