The mature caterpillar when disturbed will adorn an orange forked organ; the osmeterium pops from its head, releasing a foul smelling order to deter predators. Also known as Parsley Worm, these lovely chunky critters transition into The Black Swallowtail Butterfly. This process takes place roughly 10 to 30 days after voraciously feasting on its host plant.

After the sun retreated behind a big bank of clouds, I noticed this colorful little guy. This is an Eastern Black Swallowtail caterpillar. What a beauty!
