Silver-spotted Skipper caterpillar – Windsor Ontario

October 6, 2021 By Stan Lee

The caterpillar of the Silver-spotted Skipper is a crazy looking creature with two large yellow false eyespots at the front of its deep purple head to help scaring would-be predators. The caterpillar’s true eyes are small and unimpressive located on the side of the false eyespots. See if you can find them on the close-up head shots in this post.
