Pipevine swallowtail caterpillar on the backside of this Pipevine leaf.
The above caterpillar had been hungrily eating this Pipevine plant.
Note the ragged leaves.
I photographed this caterpillar and plant in the butterfly plant garden in McKinney, TX.
I will add a photo of a Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly on this post when I get home from my road trip in a couple of hours!
Never fear I am not posting and driving- my husband is driving!
*Note I have now edited this post after arriving home and added my photo of a pipevine swallowtail that was stored on my computer.
Have a Blessed Day!

OMG ... that is a beautiful butterfly. Quite unlike anything we have here and hungry catepillar too:):):)
I love the last sentence on this post @violetmed.
Pipevine swallow rail is a great name for a caterpillar that just eats through everything, even swallowing railroad tracks.
Haha, I spelled it wrong and now edited swallowrail to Swallowtail! 😊
Awe... I liked the first name better. Oh well, it did a good job eating through the leaves.
I have read "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" to my own children(when they were little) and lots of other children over the years! Also I love all of Eric Carle's children's books!
Catapillers kind of freak me out, but they do turn into such pretty winged creatures. So glad you weren’t trying to multitask. When you say pipe vine are you talking about a Dutchman’s pipe plant or a vine with pipe like stems? Great photos. 🐓🐓
Dutchman’s pipevine! I just learned the name of this plant and I want/need one in my yard! I’m going to have to search for one at the native plant sales around here or get some seeds from someone to grow my own! 😃
They have a beautiful purple flower that looks like a tobacco pipe. Very pretty. Wish I had one too! 🐓🐓
Really beautiful and breathtaking to watch and i want to say that nature is just an art piece which holds unlimited artistic creatures which reflects as artistic components of nature and nature holds the true essence of healing.
Most of the time people can feel the Creepy essence after watching that type of creatures but literally speaking when we will watch these type of creatures closely then for sure we can understand that every creature holds the uniqueness and different body designs.
Just see those front body parts of this creatures, truly it's reflecting as horns and it reflecting as it's have great defense mechanism and that's the beauty of nature means it's creatures are unique and have certain set of uniqueness.
Nature is an live art and it's really important to explore the nature's beauty because nature will heal us because it have that healing essence and whenever we breathe in nature we get the refreshing essence for sure.
Thanks for sharing this post with us and wishing you an great day. Stay blessed. 🙂
What a beautiful picture. How can we be fooled by appearances? Of course, from a caterpillar, something beautiful is born, @Violetmed. It's a hungry caterpillar. No damage to plants?
The plant just grows new leaves!
The first and last shots are my favourites - great macros! A hungry looking thing that caterpillar! Shared :)
