Hairy Caterpillars, One of the Insects We Often Find in the Wild🐛🐛

Caterpillars are the larval stage of a moth or butterfly, part of a four-stage life cycle (egg, larva, pupa, and adult).
Caterpillars are included in the larval stage. During their larval stage, caterpillars often feed continuously and grow rapidly, often molting several times as they increase in size.
Many caterpillars have fine hairs, as seen in the image I will share this time. Some types of these hairy caterpillars can cause irritation to humans.

Good evening, my friends, wherever you are. I hope you are all healthy and happy so you can go about your daily activities as usual. I hope you all have a pleasant day.

Today the weather in my area was a bit unfriendly, so my friends and I spent some time together sitting and chatting about random things at one of our usual rest spots. These are some of the pictures I took at that time.

Then I took the initiative to go looking for something to blog about and share with this beloved community.

I traveled not far from our resting place, where I found it quite easy to find beautiful insects, one of which was a hairy caterpillar.
Previously, I had often found them in this open area, located not far from our resting place. These are some of the pictures I took. I started looking for some images of insects in this open area.

Sure enough, it didn't take me long to spot one of the insects in the open area.

It was a hairy caterpillar perched on a wild leaf. Here are some pictures of it when I first saw it.

My friend...
Caterpillars are the larval stage of insects, including butterflies and moths.

And the one I encountered this time was a hairy caterpillar. When it comes into contact with human skin, it can cause irritation, such as itching.

Catchers are one of the insects we often encounter in the wild. Although they may seem harmless, caterpillars have fine hairs all over their bodies that contain toxic substances when they come into contact with human skin. These hairs can cause allergic reactions and irritation, as I mentioned above.

You successfully hunted a hairy caterpillar that looked pretty scary. But you took some really beautiful and unique photos, and I really liked them.
