Prepare to meet the most adorably terrifying creature you've ever seen. The puss moth caterpillar looks like a Pokémon that was rejected for being too extreme, but its defenses are 100% real and 1000% insane. Don't let its wide, cartoonish face fool you—those are false eyespots designed to intimidate anything that gets too close. And if that doesn't work? It unfurls two shocking, whip-like tails to lash out at predators. The grand finale? It can spray a potent stream of formic acid directly into the face of its enemies! The Avonetics community is blowing up, with users locked in a heated debate: is it a cuddly friend or a creature from another dimension? We dive deep into the science behind this incredible insect's arsenal, exploring how it evolved to battle its mortal enemy, the parasitoid wasp. We’ve even gathered the best external resources so you can go even further down this wild rabbit hole. You will never look at a caterpillar the same way again.
