Twig Caterpillar

I photographed one that was brown a couple of days ago. I have since learned that these caterpillars can change their color according to what they're sitting on. I think the brown one I found on my blue denim shirt had fallen on my shirt when I was outside under a tree. https://www.zmescience.com/ecology/animals-ecology/twig-mimicking-caterpillar-09721/
