Get out of my face!

Here's a head shot of an orange dog, caterpillar of the giant swallowtail (Papilio cresphotes). Four of these characters are eatin all the leaves off the lime prickly ash, er tickle tongue, er toothache tree (Xanthoxylum Clava-Herculis) here at the Cow Barn. Remarkable it be how much caterpillars eat. If you have chewed the leaves or fruit of this tickle tongue, you have some idea how the orange dog tastes.
