Wavy Emerald Moth

Wavy Emerald Moth
While some caterpillars blend in with their natural coloring, the wavy-lined emerald moth caterpillar attaches pieces of plants and flowers as camouflage.

Wavy-lined emerald moths are well known for their camouflaging technique where they attach bits of the plant petals/tissue along their backs using silk. Depending on what plant they are feeding on, they may adorn all types of different coloured plants in hopes of avoiding detection. When the petals begin to wilt and discolour, they will discard their outdated camouflage and replace with a new ‘coat’.
