  1. What a funny looking caterpillar. I'm always wondering how they can hide with such a special appearance.
    Nice picture!

The Common Baron —often called simply baron—is a medium-sized nymphalid butterfly native to India and Southeast Asia. It flies with stiff wing beats and often glides. The wing is not flapped very far below the horizontal.
