I am wondering what kind of butterfly this would turn into, and what the species of caterpillar is.

Beautiful Caterpillar from Kenya
Hi Lauren,
This is just about the most beautiful Caterpillar we have ever seen. We don’t know what it is but the head reminds us of a Skipper Caterpillar. Most Skipper Caterpillars we have seen have green bodies, though coloration has very little to do with genera classification. We actually prefer not to research this at the moment because we want to spend some time imagining what the butterfly (and we really believe this is a butterfly) would look like upon metamorphosis.
