Fruit Piercing Moth Caterpillar (Eudocima phalonia)

in Beauty of Creativity2 months ago

Fruit Piercing Moth Caterpillar (Eudocima phalonia) belongs to the family Erebidae. it has no feather, unlike the common other caterpillars that show scary faces. This caterpillar has a cute plain body with a single soft horn. As we all know, the caterpillar will become butterfly or moth in a certain period and change themselves to be more adorable insects. 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. Fruit Piercing Moth Caterpillar (Eudocima phalonia) is probably one of the more attractive caterpillars of the moth world. It overwinters by burying itself underground where it pupates before emerging as an equally impressive adult in the summer. The change which takes place is nothing short of miraculous. It is also known for being a pest of fruits in its larval, and adult form. They originated in the tropics, particularly in the continents of Africa, Australia, and Asia but have since migrated to other parts of the world.
