. Caterpillar head dull yellow, the frons [dorsal part of adfrontals] edged with black and with two large black spots, one below the other on each lobe [epicranium]; a smaller black lateral spot, posteriorly. First somite [T1] with a distinct neck and a black lateral spot. Colour greyish green, a darker dorsal line due to the intestinal canal. Anal flap flat, edged with whitish forming a heart shaped mark, with a blackish spot in each of the curves above. Legs, prolegs and venter green. Spiracles white. The anal flap showing through the end of the cell [leaf shelter] is slightly reminiscent of a lizards head, the pale line making the outline of the jaws and the black spots the eyes. In the early instars the whole heart shaped mark is black. Sevastopulos photos include an anterior shot of the head; the dark dorsal part of the adfrontals and frons making an inverted W-shape in the centre of the face.
