It was very surprising, I managed to find a hairless caterpillar in my house at night, this caterpillar has very unique characteristics ranging from its shape to its color, but I am very afraid of this caterpillar even though some people say that this caterpillar is not dangerous and cannot cause itching. When I tried to touch it with a tree branch, this caterpillar immediately showed an aggressive attitude, it could throw its body that looked like a spring, and secrete a red liquid that looked like blood, it made me even more disgusted and afraid of it. But keep in mind that this caterpillar is a serious pest for plants, this caterpillar can eat leaves and even branches of plants, for farmers this caterpillar is a serious threat that must be immediately eradicated and eliminated, but the population of this caterpillar is quite stable and very difficult to eliminate. I tried to photograph it from various different angles and I succeeded in doing so.

Okay friends, now I will share some pictures of this caterpillar here.
