The Camouflaged Looper: these caterpillars fashion their own camouflage by collecting flower petals/vegetation and using silk to "glue" the pieces onto their bodies

The Camouflaged Looper: These Caterpillars Fashion Their Own Camouflage By Collecting Flower Petals/vegetation

Though they're often referred to as "camouflaged loopers," these caterpillars are the larvae of the wavy-lined emerald moth (Synchlora aerata).

Camouflaged loopers deploy a unique form of self-defense -- they snip off tiny pieces of the flowers upon which they feed, then use bits of silk to attach the vegetation to their backs. This provides them with a kind of camouflage, enabling them to blend in with the plants that they eat.

Some of them create little tufts that run along their backs, while others fashion a thicker camouflage that covers their backs completely. In some cases, the camouflaged loopers will even build much larger bundles that surround their entire bodies.

Their range includes most of North America (from southern Canada down through Texas) and they can feed upon an enormous variety of plants -- so the disguises that these caterpillars build can come in countless colors, shapes, and sizes, incorporating many different flowers and other bits of vegetation.

A leopard seal is in banana pose on an ice floe, then it stretches out its neck onto the snow to put its head down.
The leopard seal slides gently to the right, then makes several tiny hops forward.
The leopard seal lies on its side with its pale stomach exposed and it blinks peacefully as snow begins to fall.
The leopard seal rolls over, smooshing its face in the snow a bit. This is just a big wet sea puppy!

Leopard seals are pagophilic mammals, meaning they prefer to live on or near sea ice and depend on it for many activities and functions. ©
