The Caterpillar of the swallowtail butterfly, also known as Papilio machacon, has appendages called “osmeteria“ that resemble horns. These organs emit a foul odor as a defense mechanism against potential predators. The juvenile caterpillars often display their osmeteria more frequently than adults because they're more vulnerable and need a stronger defense mechanism against predators.

Las orugas juveniles suelen mostrar su osmeteria con más frecuencia que las adultas porque son más vulnerables y necesitan un mecanismo de defensa más fuerte contra los depredadores. #amazingfacts #naturelovers #biodiversity #biology #entomology #butterfly #mariposas
