Mesmerizing Footage of Spiny Slug Moth Caterpillars Calmly 'Breathing' Upon a Leaf in Amazonian Ecua
by Lori Dorn at 5:32 PM on June 26, 2019
This was filmed in Yasuni, Ecuador. A Caterpillar doesn’t actually breath, the compression and extension of each segment causes the air/oxygen to go in and the carbon dioxide to go out of the caterpillar’s spiracles.
