BN...... just wondering bout what appears to be its eyes....are they indeed eyes??.....or possibly false eyes that mimic it to be a larger critter than it actually is.. to scare off predators??

it's amazing how god created all this - had to be, right?    Who else would paint fake eyes on a caterpillar ?  Evolution?
