Good evening and enjoy your respective activities, so tonight I want to share a picture of a moldy caterpillar object.
| Latin name | Observation date | Location |

| Orgyia definitea | 7 December 2023 | Lhokseumawe-Aceh-Indonesia |

Orgyia definitea is a species of caterpillar that is not included in the pest category, but many ordinary people eradicate them just because they are in the form of caterpillars, even though originally these caterpillars do not attack residents' plantation crops. Here we realize that today's society is more selfish, therefore perhaps with my post this can prevent them from being exterminated.
In my picture, the caterpillar has died and fungus has started to grow all over its body, but there are some unique things, namely that it is found on its fur, even though its body is filled with fungus, its fur has not changed at all, its fur remains upright without any dirt sticking to it. The growth of the fungus on its body will grow rapidly within 4 days starting from the time the caterpillar dies. At the moment, I cannot define the fungus that is growing on his body as a specific species, it's just that as we can see, the white fungus on his body is still not perfect, it will take maybe around 4 or 3 more days, maybe the fungus will show itself.
OK, friends, that's all I can say on this occasion, hopefully it's useful, thank you and see you.
