Скачать или смотреть Pale Tussock Moth Caterpillar (Lymantriidae Family) in Kathmandu, Nepal

Location: Kathmandu, Nepal, 29 June 2021.

This pale tussock moth caterpillar (Lymantriidae Family) was filmed at the end of July 2021 exploring my terrace garden, searching for a suitable spot to settle down for its final transformation. The next day it had formed a cocoon in a nearby plant by stitching two leaves of a vine together to form a cozy space to settle down.

The tussock moth caterpillar has long hairs for protection and uses the hair to build a protective layer around its cocoon.

I am observing the cocoon regularly to record the adult moth as it emerges. I will post the update on my observation on my blog: https://ekadeshstories.wordpress.com/.

About the channel:
I created this channel to post my videos on the flora and fauna of Nepal. Since I have been observing and studying insects and bugs in my garden lately, most of my immediate posts will be about that.
