Monomad - A larva with a cool pose

This is my entry for the daily #monomad challenge

Finally after a long break sharing some macro photos in this wonderful community, today I had the chance to hunt for some interesting insects again. At around 16.30 WIB I cleaned my beloved macro lens which was already a bit dirty with dust because I hadn't used it for a long time.

After finishing cleaning the lens, I rushed to the hunting location which was not too far from where I live. For today I deliberately did not go hunting to a far place because I only had one hour because around 5.30 WIB I had to get home to feed my favorite cock fight.

And after arriving at the hunting location, I had a bit of difficulty finding interesting insect objects, there were only small grasshoppers & bee species that were also very small. I gave up on my intention to photograph them because the results would definitely not be optimal for objects that were too small with the lens equipment I had.

Until finally I found a caterpillar hiding under the leaves, the caterpillar I found was quite large, yellow in color with a beautiful pattern. It's just a shame I didn't manage to identify this caterpillar as part of the larvae of what species of moth or butterfly.

Although I only found one interesting larva, I was quite satisfied, at least my efforts to find macro photography objects today were not in vain. And some photos of the larvae I mean have been uploaded below:

For a moment I thought it was a snail, the picture of it being stretched opened my eyes XD. The pose is indeed really cool and creative!

Loving how the texture looks like, Amazing!
