Borneon Hairy Caterpillar
Ingeniousness....Many animals feed on caterpillars as they are rich in protein. As a result caterpillars have evolved various means of defense. The appearance of a caterpillar can often repel a predator: its markings and certain body parts can make it seem poisonous, or bigger in size and thus threatening, or non-edible. Some types of caterpillars are indeed poisonous, some have long "whip-like" organs attached to the ends of their body. The caterpillar wiggles these organs to frighten away flies.
