a two-tailed pasha caterpillar (Charaxes jasius) on a leaf. the caterpillar is green, with a large head with four pink horns. yellow lines run alongside its body ending in a forked pink "tail". the body is covered in hundreds of pale spots and two larger ones in the middle. its head is turned to the left
