Aka Dryas Iulia 
 

Pap Aka Dryas Iulia.jpg

Nice shot  - The Julia Butterfly is a native of the central American region and has invaded Thailand and is spreading.  First collected in Chumpon in 2007.  It is spreading southward through Malaysia. It was thought that the wild Thai population was from escaped animals from the Phuket Butterfly gardens however barcode investigation reveals a different subspecies D. iulia Hispaniola from Costa Rica.  These are commonly exported around the world.

This caterpillar has been living on a tree next to my home for the past 2 weeks. When I see it, it has moved few meters up or down. Sometimes it's not there, but the next day it returns to the same place on a tree trunk. I suppose it travels up to the tree to have a night time dinner.

 

It's maybe 12cm long. 

 

Any idea what this could be and become?

Thanks. It could be that family. I underestimated the length. It's actually 18cm long. 

I took a photo as it was still on the tree. However trying to mingle the measuring tape to 2.5 from my balcony was a bit challenging. :)

Thank you for this information..

It is always sad when a thread is closed but the fact remains two threads we're going asking for the same thing. The nature thread had been going for 3 years longer so it was decided too go with that one.

Me2501 has some wonderful photos, keep them coming! 

 

Btw. What if the Creepy crawlers etc closed topics would be listed under 'Previously pinned topics' while it could be renamed 'Previously pinned and closed topics' ?

 

Then my main question. Thaivisa newsletter mentioned a 'Wildlife photography tips' topic, but the link directed to a error page. The topic sounded good and I wonder if it's somewhere? I didn't find it using search.

 

Mandatory nature photography (this is actually from Penang national park, Malaysia, but don't tell anyone)
