Assalamu Alaikum Hello friends, how are you all? Today I have brought you a photography of an amazing caterpillar larva in the Eco-Lens Map 📸 Week 9 contest organized by @joslud on CCS platform. I hope you like my photography today.

The insect you see in the picture is known as a caterpillar in our region. Although it is a caterpillar before, this caterpillar can transform into a butterfly within a few days. This is an amazing thing. Two forms in one life. Because butterflies are born from many species of caterpillars.

I and the people of our Benapole region often see it. A few days ago, my mother saw it lying under a mahogany tree in our own house. While sweeping the yard the first morning, she noticed that a caterpillar-like insect was visible at the tip of the broom.

And since I was at home in the morning, That's why I also caught my eye and went closer and saw this small caterpillar larva. And it was actively moving. And it was shining with a beautiful golden color in the morning sunlight.

This larva was very soft and delicate. This insect may have many nests on the tree. Maybe it fell down from the tree due to wind or some other reason. However, this caterpillar may have a problem with the sun's rays, so I lifted this larva from the ground with a mahogany leaf and kept it in a shady place. And I took some photos of that moment with my mobile phone.

When I was a child, I used to climb trees as a game, and I used to see many such evils. It is amazing to see the body of this insect from the beginning to the end of its life. Two small black eyes are looking at it and the whole body is covered with a pure white coating.

White hairs are growing from the body of this insect in different parts of the body. From the eyes, the whole head looks like it is covered with wings of a butterfly. Maybe something good will happen in a few days. Friends, after some time,
I left this caterpillar larva under a tree where there is no human traffic. Again, no one will sweep it. Or, seeing the low human traffic and safe nature, I left it. It is called a caterpillar in our region of Bangladesh. Its English name is Puss Caterpillar. And the scientific name is known as Southern Flannel Moth.

Scientific classification

Although I could not find any correct link or information through Wikipedia, I found the classification of these caterpillars through Facebook information, which I am sharing with you. Dear friends, I hope you liked this photography of my caterpillar today. See you again with a new photography. Stay well and healthy everyone. Allah Hafez.

I would like to invite my friend's
