It doesn't crawl... it glides like a ghost.
This bizarre creature is a Limacodid caterpillar — sometimes called a “slug caterpillar” — and it’s one of nature’s most alien designs. Found in Southeast Asian rainforests, its body is flattened, liquid-like, and covered in transparent bristles that resemble fiber optic wires.
But don’t be fooled by its beauty.
Those fine-looking hairs? They can inject venom that causes intense burning or swelling. It’s a defense perfected by millions of years of evolutionary pressure — one that says: “Admire me… but don’t touch.”
And beneath its glassy appearance lies a transformation in progress. One day, this strange crawler will vanish… and emerge as a moth.It doesn't crawl... it glides like a ghost.
