Unfortunately they got this one rather wrong, in that it represents the caterpillar of the black swallowtail (Papilio polyxenes Fabricius), also known as American swallowtail or parsnip swallowtail, which is found throughout much of North America and certainly not in the UK. For photos and information about our native common yellow swallowtail butterfly, which can now only be seen (with luck) on the Norfolk Broads, go to this LinkExternal link
Big Bugs on Tour

This exhibition can be seen at the intu Chapelfield shopping centre in Norwich, featuring giant models of indigenous, intricately designed and superbly executed bugs during September 2019 (although it has to be said that one of the twelve exhibits is actually not indigenous). New research commissioned by the organisers has apparently revealed that being closer to nature makes people 67% happier, which prompted the Big Bugs on tour exhibition, aimed at bringing adults and children face to face with twelve giant bugs. One in six children is said to have not seen a single bug in six months and the campaign aims to reconnect children and adults to nature.
