silverspotted skipper (Epargyreus clarus) larva

Larvae of silverspotted skippers (Epargyreus clarus) build a shelter out of leaves prior to entering their pupal stage. “They’re very good architects,” says Martha Weiss, Ph.D. “They cut their leaves and lash them down with silk to make little tepees and bungalows and condominiums.” (Photo by Martha Weiss, Ph.D.)
