An insect’s markingsSourced
Eyes and teeth—or a caterpillar pattern?
Mature Phyllodes imperialis caterpillars have large eyespots and white markings between and below them that resemble teeth. The apparent face is a pattern on the body, rather than a set of actual eyes and teeth in those positions.
The viewer supplies the face as well as noticing the markings.
