BLUE NAWAB

A colleague showed me a Blue Nawab (scientific name: Polyura schreiber tisamenus) caterpillar that he found munching happily on the leaves of the Saga Tree (scientific name: Adenanthera pavonina). Just like the Plain Nawab caterpillar, this one has a face mask with 4 horns. How adorable!
