The brightly coloured caterpillar (hoposhopo) named yopomeshe depicted in this painting is one of the largest found in the Washkuk Hills. The yopomeshe caterpillar is possibly the larval form of one of the giant Birdwing butterflies that abound in this region. In this painting, the four black pointed ovals represent different segments of the caterpillar’s body. The yellow triangles outlined in white and red on the two sides depict its many short legs (yatii).
