Black swallowtail caterpillar

Found this on a job site more than a year ago. I touched its back and its osmeterium came out. Nature is so interesting.

Black swallowtails are really beautiful animals. Very striking colors, despite the name I'd love to find a caterpillar of one.

True, they really are beautiful. One of my favorites.
