Macro Photography – The Beautiful Monarch Caterpillars on Milkweed Flowers | Indahnya Ulat Monarch di Atas Bunga Widuri

in #macro7 years ago (edited)

Hi Fellow Steemian..

The caterpillars of the monarch butterflies do nothing except eat all day long. When the caterpillar has reached its ideal size, it will stop eating and change the skin for the last time. After that it will turn into pupa then become butterfly.

Ulat dari kupu-kupu monarch tidak melakukan apapun selain makan sepanjang hari. Ketika ulat telah mencapai ukuran ideal, ia akan berhenti makan dan berganti kulit untuk yang terakhir kali. Setelah itu akan berubah menjadi pupa lalu menjadi kupu-kupu.

Caterpillars that I find this size is still very small aka immature. This caterpillar perched on the "widuri" flower in front of my fence in Banda Aceh.

Ulat yang saya temukan ini ukurannya masih sangat kecil alias belum dewasa. Ulat ini bertengger di atas bunga widuri di depan pagar rumah saya di Banda Aceh.

Eight pairs of short legs to crawl, and mouth with chewing leaves, this caterpillar looks very busy. As if ignoring my arrival, this caterpillar freely move from one leaf to another leaves even stretched to the flower of "widuri".

Delapan pasang kakinya yang pendek untuk merangkak, dan mulut dengan mengunyah dedaunan, ulat ini terlihat sangat sibuk. Seolah-olah tidak memperdulikan kedatangan saya, ulat ini dengan leluasa berpindah dari daun yang satu ke daun yang lainnya bahkan menggeliat sampai ke bunga widuri.

These caterpillars are often found in milkweed foliage or "widuri". This plant has a white liquid and sticky that is toxic to other animals, but not to caterpillars.

Ulat ini sering ditemukan di dedaunan milkweed atau widuri. Tanaman ini memiliki cairan putih dan lengket yang beracun bagi binatang lainnya, namun tidak untuk ulat.

This greed does not stop chewing. But when he is too big for his own skin, he will release his skin and replace the new one, after which he will eat again. So on up to five times the turn of skin before becoming a butterfly.

Si rakus ini tidak berhenti mengunyah. Namun saat ia terlalu besar untuk kulitnya sendiri, ia akan melepaskan kulitnya dan menggantikan yang baru, setelah itu ia akan makan lagi. Begitu seterusnya sampai lima kali pergantian kulit sebelum menjadi kupu-kupu.
