While I was sitting on the terrace of my house with my friends, suddenly one of my friends let out a very surprised scream. It turned out that there was a hairy caterpillar resting on his pants. The caterpillar was then moved using a tree twig onto the floor, but at that moment I did not immediately get rid of it because I wanted to capture it first.
Just by looking at its appearance, we can already see that this caterpillar can be very dangerous because its hairs can cause itching and swelling. Fortunately, my friend did not experience any of these symptoms. This caterpillar is brown and covered with fine hairs that look like tiny spines. No one dared to touch it, and it is better to avoid it.
After capturing its beauty, I immediately removed it using a tree twig. The presence of this caterpillar was really disturbing. And that is why we have to be very careful when going to plantations, because the population of hairy caterpillars is very large.
Alright, everyone, now I will share some pictures of this hairy caterpillar here.
