A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Asota Plana
Each caterpillar was about four inches long, and an inch in width. Along the body of the caterpillar was covered in long hairs about a centimeter long. The head of the caterpillar was a shiny black with a strip of red behind the head. The rest of the body was covered in a pattern of alternating thicker black stripes and then a thinner white stripe.
I found these caterpillars resting in the sun on a leaf, in the Singapore American School's secondary rainforest. I also found other caterpillars near by on the undersides of leaves.
I found these caterpillars, and well as others on neighbouring leaves around noon.
