I am a systematist/evolutionary biologist who studies Diptera and Lepidoptera at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
Our study on these weird caterpillars is finally out!
A rare carnivorous caterpillar—previously unknown to biologists—stalks spiderwebs for food whilst dressed in the remains of its prey, a new Science study reports.
This new species, dubbed the “bone collector,” is found only on a single mountainside on the Hawai’ian island of Oa’hu. scim.ag/3GBDcV7
