Macro: Pericyma cruegeri "Poinciana looper Caterpillar"

in hive-119463 •  2 years ago 

This caterpillar is about 3 cm tall, black with a brown pattern, and has thin white fur all over its body, so I can't touch it because if my skin is exposed to the caterpillar's fur, it would feel unpleasant and produce a rash.

After finding out more about the object that I share this time, this black caterpillar has the scientific name Pericyma cruegeri or known as Poinciana looper which is the larva of the moth of the same name. Caterpillars are usually seen in the grass or perched on plants, but the one I captured was crawling on the wall as if it needed to get someplace. I immediately took the smartphone camera and adjusted the angle so that the images obtained looked interesting.
