Let's see how many prompts from @fossilforager 's invertober I'll end up doing. Starting out with day 3: Oryctes nasicornis

Fucked a bit up on the perspective but it's still a little guy in an egg! Baby is in an egg cause I thought it'd be fun to try and combine eggtober with the invert prompts. Not sure I'll keep the theme up though

I'm puttering around the Patch™️ today and earlier I came across this grubby lad locomoting in the most peculiar way. These boyos can usually be found underground, I've never seen one out in the open by choice and doing... Whatever this is; At times rearing back, and others curling up and seeming to pinch/bite his rear end. He was actually able to scoot along the ground quite quickly this way, too. Anyone on bug Tumblr know what's up?

@heckacentipede , look at this heckin weird bug!

The Camouflaged Looper: these caterpillars fashion their own camouflage by collecting flower petals/vegetation and using silk to "glue" the pieces onto their bodies

Often referred to as "camouflaged loopers," the caterpillars are the larvae of the wavy-lined emerald moth (Synchlora aerata).

Camouflaged loopers deploy a unique form of self-defense -- they snip off tiny pieces of the flowers upon which they feed, then use bits of silk to attach the vegetation to their backs. This provides them with a kind of camouflage, enabling them to blend in with the plants that they eat.

Some of them create little tufts that run along their backs, while others fashion a thicker camouflage that covers their backs completely. In some cases, the camouflaged loopers will even build much larger bundles that surround their entire bodies.

Their range includes most of North America (from southern Canada down through Texas) and they can feed upon an enormous variety of plants, so the disguises that these caterpillars build can come in countless colors, shapes, and sizes, incorporating many different flowers and other plants.
