Hello Everyone

May we always be in a healthy and happy condition

Greetings to all Insects Of The World friends, in this post I will share macro photography from the photos I took with a smartphone camera + APL 100mm macro lens. I found a black caterpillar walking to reach the plants in my side yard, seeing that the caterpillar had an interesting texture and color, I immediately took a picture so as not to miss the moment when the caterpillar was still clearly visible in front of me.

---

I initially thought the larva belonged to a caterpillar that can cause allergies or itching when it comes into contact with human skin, but I was mistaken, and after reading the caterpillar article, I quickly realized that the small animal is the larva of a moth with the scientific name Sphingidae - ^source WikiPedia.

---

Then I found out more about the black caterpillar or larva that I found, it has a scientific name Theretra oldenlandiae - ^source which is the larva of the moth Theretra lycetus - ^source and belongs to the type of caterpillar that is harmless to us. This caterpillar breeds in forest areas or land that has green plants and grass around it, which I found has a size of about 5^mm with a length of 2^cm with a characteristic black body with an orange and yellow circle pattern on the side of the caterpillar's body and tip of the tail is like a black vertical upright antenna.

I always try to be maximal in producing macro photography using a smartphone camera in the hope that I can share quality and interesting images for the Insects Of The World community.

Thank You
