Terrible little caterpillars


Hello Hivers

This time I again found the same type of hairy caterpillar that I found a few days ago, its shape is really interesting and a little scary, that's why I never get bored of photographing it, and here are some of the pictures I managed to get



The name of this caterpillar is SESONGOT, that's what the people here call it, the caterpillar is very famous among coffee farmers because many of them have been stung by its thorns.

The sharp spines on its head and tail are very scary, and they are very sharp, their sting is even more painful than a wasp sting and is also life threatening.

However, apart from all that, there is no doubt about the beauty of this caterpillar, usually this type of caterpillar only has thick fur, but this one has very many spines, its shape is also very interesting, like the shape of a war helicopter.

Its color is also beautiful, and it is small in size, its green color means it can camouflage well, so many people are not aware of its existence

These caterpillars really like coffee tree leaves, they are rarely seen anywhere else, and it seems that coffee tree leaves are their favorite food

Those are some pictures that I can share this time, thank you and see you again next time

Note; all pictures were taken with a smartphone camera and edited with lightrhoom + picsart
