Fascinating Slug Caterpillar

in Fascinating Insects4 years ago (edited)

It fancies finding this caterpillar on the twig. Its beautiful look invited me to take a couple of shots and indeed, I did not have any trouble in taking its photo for this creature was quite calm so I could freely take the photos from any angle I like. The unique thing about caterpillars is that they are colorful and fluffy before they really become butterflies or moths. I think I found a strange cute one with two hairy soft horns and red-eye that seemed to be nice to take shots. From the appearance, I think it is the same type as a stinging rose caterpillar, scientifically described as Parasa indeterminate, also called slug caterpillar.
