A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Too good camouflaged with the flowers on the plant and difficult to understand what kind of detached flower petals that are moving slowly on the plant. Finally managed to see the set of legs on each ends and found out that it is a caterpillar moving with decoration so matching with the flower petals that it is impossible to notice it without any movement. Read about this on internet and found that it has evolved to master camouflage on whichever plant it is found, to protect itself from possible predators.
Forested area with many plants and shrubs around.

Hello girishanagha and Welcome to the Project Noah community!
We hope you like the website as much as we do. There are many aspects to the site and community. The best way to get started is to read the FAQs at http://www.projectnoah.org/faq where you can find all the tips, advice and "rules" of Project Noah. You, like the rest of the community, will be able to suggest IDs for species that you know (but that have not been identified), and make useful or encouraging comments on other users' spottings (and they on yours).
There are also "missions" you can join and add spottings to. See http://www.projectnoah.org/missions . A mission you should join is the https://www.projectnoah.org/missions/219... to chose the "best wildlife photo of 2019",only the spottings added to that mission are eligible.Note that most missions are "local". Be sure not to add a spotting to a mission that was outside of mission boundaries or theme :) Each mission has a map you may consult showing its range. We also maintain a blog archive http://blog.projectnoah.org/ where we have posted previous articles from specialists from different geographical areas and categories of spottings, as well as wildlife "adventures".
So enjoy yourself, share, communicate, learn. See you around :)
