I see different types of beauty in the natural environment and most of them are very beautiful in shape. But sometimes some such beauty comes in front of the eyes which are really surprising. Again I see some such beauty which is very bad and scary for me to see. Today I am sharing the beauty of one such scary insect and this terrible insect is called Lymantria dispar Insect. This type of insect is very familiar to me and I usually do not like to see them. This type of insect is considered as a common insect in our country and most of these types of insects can be seen in different places. Even though I did not like it, I took some pictures of this insect just to share with my friends and the pictures are presented above.
I saw this insect in the afternoon in my own village house in the first week of June and then I saw it sitting on a paved place in front of the door of our building. I saw it at first from a distance and at first I could not understand clearly from a distance that it would actually be a caterpillar. But when I went in front of the insect, I understood what kind of insect it was. I am usually afraid of such insects and I find it very bad to see them. Because such insects are often seen hanging from the leaves of various trees which suddenly touch the body. And if such an insect touches any part of the body, then that place starts itching and eventually a wound is formed which is very harmful for the body. Anyway, I shared some pictures of this insect with my Hive community friend.
