This beautiful caterpillar was blissfully feeding on the leaves and flowers of the Spatika plant. Hope it turned out into a beautiful butterfly.

Got the details of the caterpillar and the plant 🙂
It is a caterpillar of Yellow Pansy butterfly (Junonia hierta) feeding on Philippine Violet (Barleria cristata).
