what caterpillar is black with a yellow stripe on its back
Tags: Black, Caterpillar, stripe, yellow
The boldly tinted and patterned larva of the monarch butterfly is possibly the most well renowned caterpillar in the world. It's the most well liked subject for school tasks, since its whole life-cycle completes very rapidly, that is in less than 30 days. It's also better because of its exceptional feats of migration, flying for thousands of miles from North America to their winter roosts in Mexico. The monarch is tinted like this as an alert that it's poisonous; it collects the heart toxins from its milkweed host inside its body, and they're even conveyed ahead into the chrysalis and the mature butterfly. This specific monarch caterpillar has something additional very nasty, in the pattern of a pellet of p**p between its hind claspers. Of course expert lepidopterists (people who study butterflies and moths for a living) would not ever call this p**p, rather than they'd use the correct name for it, which is "frass".
