The caterpillar is somewhat spindle-shaped. The grown
caterpillars have two forms, dark brown or grassy green.
There are spines on the 4th segment which are short,
conicle and blue-centered surrounded by lemmon yellow
and then black rings. The osmeterium is pale bluish
green. It is extruded only reluctantly.
The pupa is pale green with a dark purplish median line
from the head to the thoracic horn and a yellow line
from the tip of the horn to the cremaster. |
