Good morning to all my beloved hive friends ♥️

When I was next to my house, I found an insect that I had never seen before, and my discovery was a reddish orange caterpillar, but there was something unique behind the beauty of the insect, namely that this caterpillar had a head that resembled a horn which added to the impression of beauty and uniqueness of this insect.

To be honest, I have never seen this insect before, so when I first found it I was a bit surprised and a little scared because this insect does look a bit scary, but if we look at its color, that's where we will see the beauty of this insect.

Because I found this insect behind the leaves but it made it very difficult for me when I wanted to take a picture of it, I even moved this insect to an open place so that I had enough light when taking a picture of it, but I was still careful to move it because I didn't know whether this insect could cause itching or not but what is certain is that this caterpillar looks innocent and not aggressive.

Well, those are some pictures and stories from me in this post, I really hope that this post can provide entertainment for all of my friends

See you again in my next post ♥️

It was quite an insect to look at. I have never seen this before.

Me too, this insect is so unique but has extraordinary beauty.

Pictures of caterpillars that outside can be, perhaps because her photographer is already a professional

Thank you very much 🙏
