Description
The Calliteara genus, often clad in attire that rivals any fashion runway, showcases caterpillars with faux fur coats in vibrant hues. Though they might look cuddly, these hairs can trigger allergic reactions in humans. They undergo a stunning transformation, not only shedding their bristly coat but morphing into moths with understated elegance. This dramatic change serves as a vivid reminder of nature's flair for the theatrical, seamlessly blending form and functionality.
