The worm has a skull-shaped face

If awarded the most impressive Halloween costume for the natural world, this frightening moth will surely win the prize.

He hit the pink-winged caterpillar with skull-shaped face

According to DailyMail, this unusual worm is the larva of the pink-winged butterfly, which is in the Red Book and lives in Australia's rainforest.

Photographer Lui Weber was fortunate to capture this extremely rare worm larva. Its striking feature is a series of white spots that look like teeth in the area between the eyes. Looking far away, this face is no different from a skull and is enough to scare the killer.

The food of larvae is vine leaves

Pink winged butterflies have a body of mixed colors between black and brown. Their front wingspan is about 60mm and on the body there are white spots that are easy to identify. When standing still, the butterfly looks like a searing leaf. They live only 600m above sea level, in Australia's humid tropical forests.

The state government of New South Wales of Australia had to put the butterfly wings in pink into the national red book. The main food of the species is Carronia grape leaves, so the government has a program to strengthen grape cultivation to create a natural food source for rose petals.
