#Charaxes

caterpillars are usually completely oblivious to everything around them and Charaxes jasius is no exception but this one reacted with visible disgust after i grabbed its leaf. i do not remember why i grabbed its leaf but it turns out it's easier to get a good angle of these guys when they're folded in half

I think an overlooked aspect of potential BatFam stuff is how, because Tim had his own rogues gallery, a lot of those guys would probably carry that beef on with Damian. Sort of a sins-of-the-father situation, or sins of the predecessor in this case.

King Snake, the Baffler, Jaeger, Steeljacket, Michael Lasky AKA Dodge, Scarab, Charaxes, Detectives Cavallo and Wise, Electrocutioner, the General, etc.

an unknown parasitoid wasp laid her eggs on this Charaxes jasius, an interaction i hadn't seen before. i was hoping to watch things develop but unfortunately the caterpillar disappeared altogether a few days later, probably due to predation by some other animal, so it was a lose/lose for everyone but the predator itself. the wasp mom chose poorly this time because these caterpillars get picked off by birds and ants like it's nothing

i miss when charaxes was around and just really wanted to feed tim to its brood of white man eggs. that was a level of comic bullshit that was absolutely delightful AND lent itself perfectly to actual action and hurt/comfort stuff. we need charaxes pointing at tim like "fuck that guy in particular" again its FUNNY
