@thecorpsesandme​ submitted: My friend found this guy in her backyard, I know it’s some kind of caterpillar but I just wanted to know, will it become a butterfly? (I say that cause it reminded me of that caterpillar on bug’s life… Btw she’s living in the center of Mexico)
Nope! It’s a moth caterpillar, specifically in the family Saturniidae and the genus Rothschildia. Probably a Lebeau’s silk moth, Rothschildia lebeau. Adults look like this:

Heimlich in A Bug’s Life, as far as I can tell, is not based on a butterfly, but rather a Saturniid moth, so it makes sense your friend’s caterpillar reminded you of him! He, based on the way he looks, was based on either the cecropia moth or the promethea silkmoth.
