My mom and I spotted this little bugger on my Lemon tree the other day. I forget the name of the type of caterpillar, but they have the most vicious looking horns which they shoot out at you when threatened. My mom gave him a gentle little squeeze and eeek.... Jayne ran away like a little girl! haha!!! - but then I came back to photograph him, because as much as I REALLY don't like caterpillars... I have to admit that he is quite a majestic looking fella.

I reckon you are probably right @herverisson.... sneaky bugger hahaha!
Dressed up to the nines in a 'camo' outfit, amazing colours @jaynie an amazing shot with smartphone photography!
Thanks @joanstewart :) and yes absolutely.... he does look GRAND indeed! hehe :)
Wow @jaynie! GREAT photos!! Maybe not so great for the garden!
hahaha thanks Kimmie.... and yes, agreed! as you can see, he has ALREADY caused quite a bit of damage! little shite!
Although it is a photo with a cell phone it looks perfect, it is an animal that although it doesn't look friendly has beautiful colors and will surely turn into a beautiful butterfly!
Yeah probably one of those REALLY LARGE pretty ones :)
Awesome photo, congratulations!

So nice. I've always wanted to see this in person. Sigh only on TV.

Wow that caterpillar really does look like a Pokemon with those red horns! Fancy that! ^~^ hopefully we won't find your mom and you caught in a silk web with the caterpillar seeking vengeance to squish the humans cheeks XD
hahahaha indeed it does LOL!
You took those pictures with a phone? They look fantastic! How big are these caterpillars? Man, it looks freaking scary! Hope it doesn't hurt when they shoot you with those horns...
Yes I did indeed @vendee :) They arent very big... about the size of your baby finger - and as for the horns, well... I think they are more for show really.

I've never seen caterpillar like this in my country. Such a cute caterpillar! You should probably record/take pic of how it turned into a butterfly too! :D
