Subfamily Lymantriinae

When I was on my cocoa plantation, I also managed to find a very scary insect, its shape is unique but can cause a very fatal risk, and this is a horned caterpillar. Different from the round hairs that I often find behind my house, this caterpillar has a larger size and has very thick hairs. If we look at it in terms of shape, our eyes can see the hairs of this caterpillar which are very thick and thick, the main color is brown but with the addition of several other colors, never play with this caterpillar because I am sure this caterpillar must be very dangerous.

I almost got hit by this caterpillar's hair, at that time I was cutting wild plants that were littering my garden, luckily I quickly realized the presence of this caterpillar so I could avoid it. Now let's look at the back of this caterpillar, there you can see very thick hair that resembles several horns, but it is not a horn but thick hair from this caterpillar
