Exotic caterpillars

I was in Penang last week and had the opportunity to photograph some exotic caterpillars.

1. This is the caterpillar of the Malayan Owl (Neorina lowii). Typical of the caterpillar from the Satyrinae family, it has a pair of processes on the head and anal segment but in the late instar the processes are held close together.

2. This is most likely the caterpillar of the Melanitis phedima.
3. This is the caterpillar of the Rajah Brooks Birdwing - Troides brookiana. The caterpillar feeds on Aristolochia foveolata.

4. This is the caterpillar of the Great Orange Tip - Hebomoia glaucippe. The shape of the caterpillar is typical of the caterpillar from the Pieridae family. The caterpillar feeds on Crateva religiosa.

Over the next few months, I will be setting up a checklist for the butterflies and moths of Fraser's Hill on my ButterflyPals website. The first batch of photos on Sphingidae (Hawk Moths) has been posted here.

This will be followed by Saturniidae and Butterfly photos.
