EDITORS COMMENTS
Discover the intricate beauty of the Eri Silkmoth Caterpillar in this close-up photograph. The detail of its body, with its various segments and tiny feet, is showcased as it rests delicately on a leaf of the Tree-of-heaven, a native plant from South East Asia. This particular Eri Silkmoth, scientifically known as Samia cynthia, was acclimatized in France, allowing us to appreciate its vibrant colors and unique features up close. The Eri Silkmoth is a member of the Lepidoptera order, which includes both butterflies and moths. This young caterpillar, also referred to as a larva, is in the process of growing and shedding its skin to prepare for its transformation into a moth. The Eri Silkmoth is known for producing silk, which is used in the production of eri silk, a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional silk. This stunning photograph, taken by Pascal Goetgheluck of Ardea Wildlife Pets Environment, invites us to marvel at the wonders of the natural world.
