A caterpillar is equipped

A caterpillar is equipped with "ultimate weapon" to escape the enemy, after developing the ability to camouflage on the wings, making it look like a spider.

It has wings that are lighter than fluffy and one of the most fragile creatures in the world.

However, this tiny caterpillar, officially Lygodium Spider Moth , still has the ability to "scare" the enemy to run out of smoke, when nature bestows a winged spider-striped wing.

Looking close, the wings of the caterpillar have eight feet inherent in a spider.

This impressive creature was discovered in Thailand in 2005, and is described in the Annals Of The Entomological Society of America.

It is known that spider-shaped caterpillars sip fern leaves to live, and there is no way to escape enemies except "terrorist tattoos" on the wings, according to Business Insider.
