Found a very odd bug earlier

 

Looked all over online trying to find a match

 

If theres any experts i would like to know what it is , i aint got any lead to pass onto here

 

its a deep red in colour and cone shaped , doesnt look like it has legs ! the only thing that moves is rear end when you pick it up

 

ive looked all over and i cannot find it

 

Anyone ? :hmm:

Just a baby moth :D

 

:laugh: Really ?

 

ive just searched for them on google and there isnt any moths that look like that :huh:

 

its less likely to get eaten if it looks dull & uninteresting on the outside , but the moth within may welll be a stunner , simple survival :laugh:

 

Elephant hawk moth is a classic , bright green , then it goes black , but when it emerges its probably one of the most stunning things you will possibly witness :thumbs:

Spot on Kay! :good:

 

The kids love bringing caterpillars home, feeding them, then looking after the pupae until they emerge.
