Impatiens Hawk Moth - Caterpillar

in hive-144064 •  4 months ago 

The unique thing about caterpillars is that they are colorful and fluffy . Another interesting stuff is that caterpillars do not make a lot of move, so we can take pictures as many as you want. This caterpillar is known as Impatiens Hawk Moth 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. Taking this chance before it transformed to be another fascinating creature, butterfly or moth that sometimes give us hard time to catch. It's midday when I found such this scary-beautiful caterpillar hibernated on the stalk, I think that is one of the scarce caterpillar that I ever found, not only the body but it appear something on its head, hairy soft horns.
