AH_Prola Beauty (Panacea prola) caterpillars Ecuador_0367.jpg
Prola Beauty butterfly caterpillars (Panacea prola), clustered together on a tree tunk to enhance their aposematism, the bright colouration that warns would-be predators that they are toxic to consume. They also bristle with irritating hairs, once again offering greater protection en masse. Yasuní National Park, Amazonian Ecuador. January. Focus-stacked image. Laowa 24mm f/14 2X Macro Probe, Canon r5.
