Worm that scares your face to avoid prey

LONDON: In a nature factory, many insects, moths and creatures use a variety of tactics to protect themselves, and the punk-undering moth (caterpillar) shrinks its body at the sight of a predator and enlarges its face. In this way, his eyes look bigger and clearer and his facial features look like big teeth.

The rare pink underwear moth is found in the United Kingdom, Queensland and New Guinea. It eats rotten fruit and has pink stripes under its feathers. Because of its color, many predators can drip resin on it. But the worm is brown in the beginning. When he grows up, two big dark spots appear on his face. And bright yellow stripes appear. Large spots look like scary eyes and two rows of white stripes look like pointed teeth.

This insect is also called a large-headed caterpillar. But this is not his real head, but he stretches his head in times of danger. Its head is shaped like a skull and the big eyes look like horrible teeth. It is said that the big insect or animal that makes it bite in this way, gets scared and retreats.
