EDITORS COMMENTS
Who needs a Halloween costume when you can be a Coxcomb Prominent caterpillar? This full-grown larva is rocking its leafy ensemble while feasting on an oak leaf in Powys, Wales. Talk about a fashionable insect! In the lush countryside of Britain, this European oak nature lover knows where to find the best food. With its voracious appetite, it happily munches away on leaves, making sure to leave no tasty morsel behind. Autumn has arrived in Wales, and this little creature couldn't be happier. As temperatures cool down and trees shed their vibrant foliage, our Coxcomb Prominent larva takes advantage of the abundance of fallen leaves from temperate oaks. While some may find insects creepy or crawly, this arthropod proves that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. Its intricate patterns and striking colors make it stand out among its fellow moth brethren. So next time you're strolling through the Welsh countryside in October, keep an eye out for these fascinating creatures! They may not be as famous as dragons or sheep in Wales but are equally captivating with their insatiable appetites and unique appearance.
