Spicebush swallowtail caterpillars are some of my absolute favorites. I love how they change to bright orange when getting ready to pupate. The osmeterium is no joke. We get a lot of black swallowtails all summer and God forbid I try to harvest carrots or parsley. That smell doesn't wash off easily 😂

I've seen one of those somewhere. Those markings can deter some people too, lol!
