Dotted Footman Moth Caterpillar
Spilarctia obliqua (larva)
This hairy caterpillar feeds on the leaves of crops, weeds, and other broad-leaved plants in fields and gardens across South Asia. It is mostly active at night, chewing foliage and resting among leaves or plant debris by day. When disturbed, it may curl or rear up, while its dense body hairs help discourage predators.
