Crypsis in moth looper caterpillar
This weird little critter was seen at night on the Malaysian island of Langkawi. It moved much more like a leech than a caterpillar, planting its posterior on the ground using its prolegs and then waving its entire upper body in the air before planting just the extreme anterior of its body and repeating the movement. When disturbed, it immediately assumed this posture - which looks much like a bud from a branch
