swallowtail butterfly caterpillar

If you're a bug FAN, I'm sure you'll be fascinated by the pictures you see here!
The black circular object above is a spiracle which allows the caterpillars to have oxygen delivered to their body. It can be controlled being opened or closed in order to lead water in or prevent any from entering.
The caterpillar actually has 6 true legs which are located generally near the head area. They also have stumpy legs which are called prolegs. These are located in the abdomen area.
