Hello Hivers
Today I went back through the local people's plantations, and I looked at some of the coffee plantations here, and look what I found, a scary little monster is attacking the local people's coffee plantations, and it has a slightly strange shape but it's still interesting to look at.
I couldn't find clear details of this caterpillar on Google, but I'm sure it still belongs to the Limacodidae group, and you can see clearly what the shape of the caterpillar is.
The colors here call these caterpillars the name SESONGOT, and they are pests for coffee plants, and are very dangerous if hit by their thorns, their sting is very painful, and dangerous, even if stung many times our lives will be threatened, that's what the locals say about the caterpillars This
The caterpillar's face is also very scary, and when seen from above, its shape looks like a helicopter in the movies
Those are some of the best pictures I have and for this time that's all I can share, thank you and see you again next time

Thank you for sharing these photos @roronoa46. They may be good-looking but dangerous. I haven't seen that insect in our country.
Yes, I also saw them for the first time, it seems that the caterpillar only exists in coffee plantations
This is very good
The picture of the caterpillar that you showed looks quite good and quite interesting.
Thank you
