Brown patterned caterpillar - Series #8

This is the 8th series on tropical caterpillar. This time, it's about a brown patterned caterpillar. The brown caterpillar was hooked underside of a lime branch and at first glance, it look like a branch because it was brown and patterned. It also looks hideous but a perfect camouflage.

Baby Caterpillar - Series #7

This is the 7th series on tropical caterpillar and also it the first time I stumbled upon a gang of baby caterpillars (black caterpillar with red head). Usually, I spotted an adult caterpillar but that day, around 20 baby caterpillars were slowly munching a leave. See photos below:

Gang of baby caterpillars

Close up. That's the closest I can get because the object is too tiny, more closer that the object would be too blur or dark.

Tropical yellowish caterpillar - Series #5

This is the fifth series on caterpillars, i.e tropical yellowish (or pale yellow) caterpillar. These caterpillars were found to have infested our Longan tree. At least 11 of those caterpillars were plucked from the Longan leaves and destroyed after the photo shoot.

This specimen of yellowish caterpillar with red head is roughly 2 inches long.

Tropical green caterpillar - Series #2

This is the second series on caterpillar, i.e tropical green caterpillar. The black spot on the right looks like an eye but it's fake to trick predator. The fake eyes look intimidating to fend of predator and the caterpillar head is actually tiny.

Uncropped photo. The caterpillar photo is not so sharp due to poor lighting. It's was late in the afternoon.

Tropical big green leave cutter caterpillar

Tropical big green leave cutter caterpillar. I'm not sure which end of the caterpillar is the head or the tail. The end with the spike or horn might be the head and the spots at the tail is the fake eyes to trick predator.

After the photo of the caterpillar was taken, the caterpillar was unceremoniously cut into two by my mum because it was destroying her crop (yam ~ dioscorea).
