Along with fake snake eyes and markings, snake-mimicking caterpillars will also duplicate their muses' behavior as well, adding some extra flourishes to their arsenal of snake tricks. The great orange tip caterpillar lifts its head in a snake pose like it is planning to attack. The markings on the great orange tip caterpillar are snake-like as well, with a red stripe down its side and orange and blue markings on its head. Found in south and southeast Asia, China, and Japan, once the great orange tip becomes a butterfly, it is predominantly white with bright orange and black on the outer third of its wings.
