Caterpillar Caterpillars Emerging Hatching House Houses Larva Larvae Lepidoptera Moth Moths Pest Pests
Caught in the Act - The Fashion Police on Duty!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, we witness a notorious culprit of the fashion world - the Cased Clothes Moth larvae or caterpillar. With its sleek and stylish casing, it's no wonder these little critters are causing a buzz in the insect kingdom! Hailing from Europe and known for their impeccable taste, these single young caterpillars take their role as pests very seriously. They hatch and emerge with one mission in mind – to invade our houses and feast on our precious garments! Talk about a wardrobe malfunction! But fear not, for wildlife photographer Steve Hopkin has captured this momentous occasion where one such larva is caught red-handed (or should we say red-clothed?). With its European charm and undeniable determination, this tiny intruder reminds us that even insects have an eye for fashion. Lepidoptera enthusiasts will appreciate the intricate details of this print while simultaneously shuddering at the thought of potential infestations. So keep your closets locked tight because you never know when these sneaky creatures might strike next!
