A few days ago I shared this crazy arachnoid that looked like it came straight from an ai image generator.
Today I have something that's also crazy looking. And creepy. Very creepy šØš š
Meet the caterpillar stage of the Pasha butterfly:
It's literally like a regular caterpillar with a Halloween mask š
Scientifically described as Herona marathus, the species occurs in India:
It is fairly common up to 4000 ft (1200 m) in the Sikkim-Darjeeling area. Most frequent between 2000 and 3000 ft (600ā900 m). source
No idea where the fuck that is š š
In case you wonder, there's nothing special or creepy about adults. They just look like yet another boring butterfly:
I also found this video of the critter on twitter...
And this one

Heh, it's much smaller than I expected...And dare I say it actually looks a bit..cute š
Ok frens, this is it for today. I hope you enjoyed discovering yet another strange animal with me.
See you soon with more wonders of mother nature š
