Looper Caterpillar (Geometridae)

in Beauty of Creativity2 months ago

The interesting parts about caterpillars is that they are colorful and fluffy before they turn into butterflies or moths. This looper caterpillar that I found the other day was staying calm on the the wild grass which made me easy to take a few shots before I left the hunting spot. If we look at closely to this caterpillar, we can see that it has cute decorative body with two color dots on it. As we all know, the caterpillar will become butterfly or moth in a certain period and change themselves to be more adorable moths or butterflies. The caterpillars are quite sedentary and remain feeding in one area of a plant until the immediate leaves have been depleted when they’ll move a short distance onto the nearest untouched growth. Actually, I often skip caterpillar, especially the feather ones which show me less attractive but this one is exceptional. The unique thing about caterpillars is that they are colorful and fluffy before they really become butterflies or moths.

A very unique caterpillar with a shape that is a bit like a seahorse.
