Can you imagine having that happen to YOU? It must be a lot of hard work switching bodies... I would be way too lazy to even try.
My favorite of the ones above is the Sphinx moth caterpillar. It's so cool how it mimics a snake (I wouldn't be able to tell the difference)!
Which one do you like the best?

It is wonderful how it imitates a snake. My favourite is the Puss moth catterpillar with the wide open mouth. Forever hungry!
I love how the dagger moth caterpillar looks like a muppet! Or a feather boa!
Its amazing how beautiful these catterpillars can be and yet I would never want one on me! I stumbled upon this related site today, check out some of these insects! postomania.ru/post125506495/
Oh definitely the Puss Moth Caterpillar
Wish you had their butterfly/moth forms too! its fun to compare. :3
Amazing! Can't pick a favorite!
