15 Most Alien Looking Caterpillars on Earth

By Queuebot in Animals & Pets, Everything Else on May 29, 2009 at 7:22 am


Caterpillars are more vulnerable to predators than their later butterfly stage, so many have developed scary appearances for protection. These can scare anyone!

This green alien is a native of the Philippines and seems to have taken the fake eye spots to an extreme, making its “face” quite large and scary. Normally, a caterpillar’s face is much smaller and not on the second abdominal segment.

    It’s all a matter of perspective! :) and imagination of course. But great job on the photography – clear focus on the object.
