Caterpillar On Oleander

Print on High Quality Glossy Photo Acid Free A4 Paper US$20

The Common Crow or Oleander Butterfly Caterpillar has alternating bands of orange, black and white all along the body, eight black tentacles in pairs: on the mesothorax, the metathorax, and on abdominal segments two and eight.
It feeds on the underside of milk weed plants such as the Oleander and Morton Bay Fig.
Commonly found on the East Coast of Australia, it prefers the tropics but can be found as far south as Victoria.
Its Pupa [see Oleander Butterfly Pupa] is a stunning sight shimmering like metal from a silver to gold colour. Hanging from the underside of the leaves of its food plant.
The larval phase lasts about 21 days and the caterpillar grows to about six cms.

The adult butterflies have a wing span around 7 cms. They are black with small white spots on the edges of the wings, and larger spots further in. On the hind wings, these large spots form a marginal row, and some spots are in pairs. On the forewings, the large spots vary in size, and form a less well defined row. In males, the hind margin of the forewing is bowed; in the female it is straight. The adults only have four legs.
