A colorful guest suddenly appeared in the motorcycle mirror

Latin Name	Observation Date	Location
Euproctis taiwana	April 26, 2026	Purulia, Natore, Bangladesh

On the afternoon of April 26, I was preparing to go out on my motorcycle. Suddenly, my eyes fell on the looking glass. I saw a strangely beautiful and colorful caterpillar walking there on its tiny legs. I was fascinated by it, so without delay, I gently took it down from the glass and took some pictures.
​This small creature is called Taiwan yellow tussock moth (scientific name: Euproctis taiwana). Its most attractive feature is its bright orange head and a long line of the same color running across its back. Its entire body is covered in long, soft gray and black hairs.

​Nature has spread so much diversity around us. However, let me tell you one thing, if the hairs or fur of this type of caterpillar come into contact with your skin, it can be quite itchy, so I was quite careful while taking pictures.

​Let me tell you how you liked this little masterpiece of nature!
