Vanessa amerindica Caterpillar
Vanessa amerindica (caterpillar)
This spiny caterpillar lives among low-growing herbaceous plants in open fields, roadsides, and disturbed habitats. It feeds chiefly on the leaves of cudweeds and related plants, often sheltering within leaves bound together with silk. When disturbed, it may curl its body or remain hidden in its leafy refuge.
