My friend sent me this image today. At first I did not notice the caterpillar. Which is this please? He permitted me to use it for this purpose. A camouflage can't be better than this!

This appears to be Euthalia aconthea, the adult butterfly is known as the common baron - http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Euthalia-aconthea-caterpillar.JPG

Yes, it is. I just mailed the link to my friend. How interesting this is!
Here is a photo of this butterfly from my garden.
