Mad as a Marine Biologist

Snake Mimic Caterpillar

ikager:

Yes, this is a caterpillar of Hemeroplanes triptolemus. The snake-like head is actually the bug’s backside,which it inflates and pretends to strike with. Like an actual snake. It is found in the rain forests or Mexico and Central America and is extremely rare.

My word, you learn something new everyday.
