🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨

The “Japanese Emperor Caterpillar” is a bright green bug from Japan. When it grows up, it turns into a butterfly with purple wings. This butterfly is scientifically known as Sasakia charonda, but people also call it the Japanese Emperor Butterfly. It lives in woods and fields in Japan, helps flowers by moving pollen, and appears in many Japanese stories and pictures.

This green larva is notably larger than many of its peers. When you see one, its size is striking compared to other common caterpillars. This bigger size not only makes it more visible but might also discourage some animals from trying to eat it.

When it transforms into the Japanese Emperor Butterfly, it sports an impressive wingspan that can reach up to 50 millimeters. This sizable wingspan sets it apart, making it one of the larger butterflies commonly found in its habitats.
