Bright orange and yellow with a smattering of green stripes, this caterpillar is highly visible in practically all environs. Its three-[[Measurements|thum]] length makes it rather easy to spot, as does its distinctive undulation, reminiscent of the [[slemor]]'s lingual articulations. It tends toward a slender elongated aspect compared to other caterpillars, and is capable of moving quite quickly when threatened. |

Their diet tends toward the seeds of fruits, and they have been observed eating a wide range of nuts, generating reports that they are in fact tasty and nourishing. The silk produced when they spin a chrysalis is often used as a substitute for finer spydar silks in the mercantile industry. |
