Hi Archaeodontosaurus,

This is to let you know that the featured picture File:Pieris brassicae (caterpillar).jpg, which you uploaded or nominated, has been selected as the English Wikipedia's picture of the day (POTD) for September 1, 2021. A preview of the POTD is displayed below and can be edited at Template:POTD/2021-09-01. If you have any concerns, please place a message at Wikipedia talk:Picture of the day. Thank you!

Pieris brassicae, the large white, is a species of butterfly in the family Pieridae, common in Europe, Asia and North Africa. The larva pictured here, which was found at a market in Fronton, France, is a serious pest of plants in the cabbage family, Brassicaceae. The eggs are laid in batches on the undersides of the leaves of plants rich in mustard-oil glucosides, and consumption of these substances as they chew the leaves makes the larvae distasteful; the bright colouration of the larvae signals to predators that they taste bad. Additionally, the adult butterflies emit an unpleasant smell and display warning colours.
