Hi guys this is an cinnabar moth's caterpillar with its yellow and black striped body, the cinnabar moth 's caterpillar looks as if it's wearing a rugby jersey, it a warning colour. This caterpillar are ragwort specialists and play an important role in controlling the most hated of our native flowering plants, gaining their toxicity . the poisonous alkaloids sequestered from ragwort. Rapacious eater, they will turn cannibal if hungry.

This is actually what you see ever day,almost around you but it's too insignificant for people to perceive the wonders of what God created.
