EDITORS COMMENTS
Who needs a Halloween costume when you can be a Coxcomb Prominent caterpillar? This full-grown larva in Powys, Wales is rocking its vibrant green and orange stripes while feasting on an oak leaf buffet. Talk about living the high life! 🐛🍂 This little critter belongs to the Lepidoptera family, which includes moths and butterflies. With its unique appearance and voracious appetite, it's no wonder why this Coxcomb Prominent stands out among other insects. In autumn, as the leaves start to change color, these larvae make their way through the Welsh countryside munching on oak leaves like there's no tomorrow. They're nature's very own leaf-eating machines! But don't worry, our Coxcomb Prominent friend isn't hogging all the food for itself. It shares its tasty meal with other invertebrates and arthropods that call these trees home. It's like a woodland potluck party! So next time you spot an oak tree in Wales during October, keep your eyes peeled for these fascinating caterpillars chowing down on their favorite delicacy – they're sure to brighten up your day with their colorful presence.
