Two Caterpillars With Terrifying Beauty

While I was hunting in the forest, I found many types of caterpillars with various shapes, some looked cute, some were scary because some caterpillars that have fur will definitely itch if they get on their hands.

I have found two caterpillars, one has hairs that look like thorns and the other looks so tiny, soft and without any hairs

As is usual habit, many caterpillars are found on wild leaves, many of us even accidentally touch their fur and in the end the part of the hand that touches them will feel itchy, but don't worry, hair is the solution to get rid of the itching.

I saw a caterpillar with a slightly scary shape, the body part seemed to have several horn-shaped hairs and looked very sharp, the tips of the hairs were black, almost the entire color of the caterpillar was yellow, and the upper part of the body was blue, very small in size, I didn't Too successful at taking the perfect shot because it's so hard to control

I tried taking two shots at a slightly further distance, it looks a little smaller but the texture is more clearly visible

I saw a small wooden twig, I guided the caterpillar to climb onto the twig so I could get a few more shots

thank you very much, you are right of course patience is the main factor in taking macro photos, especially since what we are photographing are live animals which we cannot control easily

It's like a caterpillar on a coffee stalk, if it gets on its thorns it will sting a little and itch. I like your picture brother.

I've heard that the caterpillars on coffee tree trunks are more dangerous than normal caterpillars

@vikar
Caterpillar that have thorn on his body looks dangerous. But in my side these types of caterpillar are not found. Other category of caterpillar is rarely found in our side in many more crops.

You are right, this caterpillar is very dangerous, its fur looks so sharp, maybe each region has different caterpillars

Hey @vikar
The caterpillars in your photos look both terrifying and beautiful. I don't know why.

was it aimed at the first caterpillar I shared? they look scary from the shape of their feathers like that, maybe the beauty is from their color

You are right, touching is the same as making yourself suffer, the itching is so intense
