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.

Bug with spiky legs

A photo of a bug with spiky legs. I was unable to take the photo from the top or side as the bug is extremely conscious of it surrounding. That's why I only manage to get shots of this bug from underneath.

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.


Cropped photo. Caterpillar photo taken with flash.



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