15 Most Alien Looking Caterpillars on Earth


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.
