A highly realistic 3D model of the Old World Swallowtail caterpillar, accurately capturing the characteristic appearance of this iconic butterfly larva. The model features the species’ distinctive green body with bold black banding and contrasting orange-red spots, combined with a smooth, non-hairy surface typical for this caterpillar stage. Designed as a static asset, it is ideal for detailed close-ups, educational visuals, and natural scenes where anatomical accuracy and surface detail matter.
