Still Waters Posted August 21, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 21, 2013 An unusual caterpillar uses the sun to navigate as it jumps to safety, according to scientists. The larva of Calindoea trifascialis, a species of moth native to Vietnam, wraps itself in a leaf before dropping to the forest floor. It then spends three days searching for a suitable place to pupate, despite not being able to see out of its shelter. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/23754429 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
