Swallowtail caterpillar - Papilio - a photo on Flickriver

            Starting off with its three first in-stars mimicking the droppings of a bird, the Swallowtail caterpillar after later in-stars will develop eye-spots on both sides of its throrax as a deterrent against predation, in the hopes that it comes across as a potential snake.

Along with all the members in the family Papilionidae, these caterpillars have evolved an osmeterium, normally tucked away in-between the head and first segment of the thorax.. When threatened they'll extend and protrude out emitting foul smelling terpenes.
