15 Most Alien Looking Caterpillars on Earth

Posted by Queuebot in Animal, 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.

Adorable Jumping Spider Faces

Ugly Overload normally focuses on ugly critters, but the face of this little guy won me over. He looks like he’s smiling. Jumping spiders are really interesting and don’t worry, they’re too small to hurt you.
