He's disguised like a bird droppings.

Hi steemit friends wherever you are ..

this time we will try to review about the caterpillar leaves that can avoid predators perfectly, this caterpillar usually likes to leaves oranges.
If we see at a glance, the caterpillars that usually eat this lime leaves look like bird droppings with black and white mixed colors, there are also green caterpillars colored with leaves, the actual caterpillar larvae of this butterfly-tailed Asian tribe does have an incognito technique which is varied to avoid the threat of predators.

young larvae disguise like bird droppings and turn green before the final phase before becoming a cocoon. New research shows that its ability to alter these disguises is determined by certain hormones generated during the larval phase, as the caterpillar ends the incognito phase as bird droppings, the hormone decreases so that its body changes become green this hormone has been known to determine the process of skin formation, or metamorphosis.

but this is the first time that the hormone also regulates body color changes during the larval phase, the hormone also regulates the body's texture of caterpillars and the distribution of pigments that produce color in its body to perfect its disguises.

That's a little explanation from me about citrus leaves, sorry if there is a mistake, keep the spirit of your day and happy nice day.
