This lady posted pics of some caterpillars and nobody has ID'd them. Can anyone ID them? I'm curious!

Polydamas :o)

Thanks! I have a caterpillar book, but it showed a very dark polydamas cat, as dark as the dark form of the pipevine swallowtail...and no stripes. That's the problems with books or sites that show a cat of a certain species, but not the different variations and instar phases. Those cats look so cool!
Aren't those too cool?! I was very glad to see those pics.
very nice pics. Polydamas is not one we get
Oh yeah? See, now a reason for me to be jealous of you!
Yes, they are great looking cats. I've only seen one polydamas butterfly in my yard but they do show up at the butterflies parks on rare occasions.
I know our pipevine caterpillars are more of an orange/red color and those from up north are darker...almost black in color. Go figure!!!
