Green Caterpillar on Alstonia

Licking chops after a hearty leafy meal

Siesta under the shade after a chewy repast fortified with chlorophyll. Nodding off tuned to Radio Ajmer. Reception improves with the antenna.

Preparing to pupate. Can anyone explain the change in colour to a turd like brown?

  1. how rapid was the color transition? maybe it turns brown to camouflage itself against tree bark?

  2. A few days; quite rapid considering the short life-span of the creature.
