This is my entry for the #monomad challenge curated by
today.
Yesterday afternoon I went hunting again in one of the oil palm plantations in my area, the weather was very hot and I wanted to look for some insects that live there.
not long there I was surprised to see several caterpillars sleeping in a very strange model, this is the first time I have seen caterpillars like this which really have very strong resistance in their legs so they sleep in a standing position, did you know that when I saw this I immediately remembered one of the monsters in anime films 😀
This caterpillar is green, has black spots all over its body, and I saw that there were only six of them on the head, the stomach was smooth unlike normal caterpillars, I tried touching the head very hard and they still didn't feel disturbed
looks cute but a little scary, there are usually not many of these caterpillars here and they are all asleep
My efforts to wake up this caterpillar were almost successful, I tried taking wood and wrapping it around its stomach
Finally I managed to wake him up and it turned out he was walking very fast, and walking like a leech. Of the many shots, only one shot was good with a caterpillar body shape like the letter N
