Pretty and cute caterpillar like rabbit
Hello hive friends.
Today I was very happy to find a very cute little caterpillar, this was the first time I saw this caterpillar. In the afternoon I play in the rice fields near my village and as usual I often look for some beetles here, usually I often hold rice leaves to look for some moths in between the leaves, but accidentally I saw a caterpillar right there. on the top of a rice leaf, at first I thought it was just a caterpillar egg because after looking closely it turned out to have soft, hairy horns but they were so small that even at a glance we wouldn't know that they were caterpillars.
As I said, I have never seen this type of caterpillar at all. But what was even more unique was that I saw this caterpillar through a macro lens, its face was very similar to a rabbit, from the shape of its ears, mouth and nose. I felt lucky to have found this caterpillar, and after that I didn't want to miss the moment when the caterpillar moved, because its behavior was very interesting. Here I saw that this caterpillar was very friendly and only walked occasionally and then stopped to see the atmosphere, unlike other caterpillars it might be a little active in walking.
There are a lot of pictures that I took because I will re-select my shots, because it is not easy to take pictures with a body that is too small and occasionally the rice stalks sway in the wind. I tried to shoot closer but it was too difficult so I just took the picture a little further away to get the most out of it and see all of his body and face. This caterpillar is a very soft light green color, has a black nose and very small eyes with white lines. It was an extraordinary combination, I couldn't even believe I found this caterpillar that was so beautiful and also had extraordinary charm.

this time I really agree with you, this caterpillar is so very cute, its size is definitely very small, it has two long ears and its face is like a rabbit, it's really very cute
I was lucky today brother hehe, I tried looking for a bigger one in the rice fields but I never saw it again on the top of the rice leaves
That's an interesting creature. I've never seen one in my life, but it's interesting.
This is also the first time I've seen it, I'm happy to see a caterpillar like this.
Thank you so much @erikah

Wow how cute 😃 Google lens told me its the Melanitis leda Fabricius! Or the common name is, the horned caterpillar from the rice leaf butterfly!
Good capture!
when I first saw it I thought it was a caterpillar egg or something because it was so small. I was happy to be able to photograph this caterpillar and took lots of pictures of it.
