Camouflaged Looper (Synchlora aerate)

from $18.00

This is the caterpillar of the wavy-lined emerald moth (Synchlora aerate), also known as a camouflaged looper. These incredible animals protect themselves by sticking some of the plant material it's eating onto spikes lining its body, allowing the caterpillar to blend right into their own buffet. I stumbled across one of these caterpillars in my backyard when it was smaller than the tip of my pinkie nail, and I documented it almost every day of its month-long life before it created its chrysalis. The Ambush Bug painting is a sister to this work.
