I assume the color warns birds that he is poisonous? Great shots of an apparently rare butterfly.

I too was just going to ask; given that colour has got to be nasty tasting, at least
Nice shot. Looks like they're made of wax!

Red licorice is an oxymoron. But nice captures of a crazy looking creature.

Pipevine is their host plant, and around here they're pretty common. I'll post a picture when I get one. Thank you.

They are strange looking. When I saw them, there were about 6, I presumed the butterfly they morphed into would be red, or at least reddish, not black/blue like the Swallowtail they become.I too was just going to ask; given that colour has got to be nasty tasting, at least

Didn't you ever see "red" licorice in a store when you were a kid and looked for such things? Keep an eye out, sure it's still around. Exact color as this catepillar! Thank you.
