Yesterday afternoon I returned to hunting as usual, and the place I was going to was an oil palm plantation. I planned to look for mushrooms today but I failed to find them because the weather was starting to get hot.

but when I walked towards a pile of rotten wood on one of them I saw a green caterpillar without feathers sleeping very peacefully there.

These green caterpillars are different from other caterpillars, they have good legs at the front and two legs at the back while their stomachs are plain.

This caterpillar has outer skin on a coconut that really resembles its eyes, while the original small coconut will come out if it starts walking
