| Chersonesia rahria | 27 01 2025 | North Acèh Regency, Acèh, Indonesia |
I found something quite unique under the banana tree behind the house—a caterpillar I had never seen before! After observing it carefully, I found out that this was a Chersonesia rahria caterpillar. What's interesting is that this caterpillar has two small horns on its body, making it look like a creature from another world.
I spent some time looking at it more closely. Its yellowish green color with black stripes on the sides of its body makes it look like part of the branch it is standing on. And the most interesting thing, his body position when moving looks very unique!
This was my first experience meeting caterpillars like this, and I became increasingly curious about the world of insects and caterpillars around us. There are probably many more unique species that I haven't discovered yet.
