Seems like 2020 has brought us some really weird creatures, such as murder hornets.
Today I discovered Uraba lugens, the “mad hatterpillar.”
Indigenous to Australia’s eucalyptus forests, it stacks its molted heads atop each other, creating a morbid headgear that servers as diversion when predators come a-callin’.
Fans of Grateful Dead should love this little one.
