Inktober Day 21: Apparently, I truly do enjoy causing myself sleep deprevation, because this jewel caterpillar was the only thing I could get into for the prompt: treasure. Those gooey gelatinous spines apparently come off easily and they are oddly suggestive. My Pentel brushpen was leaking a lot, so this was mostly done with an acrylic brush siphoning off the ink from the brushpen. Done on Canson mixed media.

Before and after photos of butterfly and moth transformations
Inside their cocoons, the caterpillars are completely liquified, retaining only rudimentary “plates” that are the starting points for essential features like the wings and eyes. Even though they are reduced to a protein soup, studies have indicated that some butterflies can retain behaviours that they were taught as caterpillars. Far out!
The cool thing is that many of these caterpillars are almost as impressive, if not more so than their moth or butterfly counterparts. The regular green caterpillar looks plain, compared to these beauties. Their bright markings and structures often serve as protection, advertising their poisonous nature or giving predators false targets to attack. The hairy caterpillars can sometimes cause an allergic reaction, and that is also one of their survival techniques.

Photo Sources: Three Four
So let’s start with the “Polilla” collection of moths in this game. Now, ‘Polilla’ is simply Spanish for ‘moth’ and not any sort of scientific classification. I think all of the moths in this collection come from Spanish-speaking countries, so that would explain the name.
First up is the Yellow Furry-Legs! Pretty sure when you start the game you always start with this guy. As you can see in the book its scientific name is given as Acraga infusa. As you can see from the photo above there, this little fellow is as adorable in real life as in the game.
This South American species belongs to the family Dalceridae, and is vividly orange despite its name. Around 3cm in wingspan, you might expect these lil fuzzy guys to have equally fuzzy caterpillars. However, their caterpillars are actually very shiny and glasslike, and sometimes referred to as jewel caterpillars due to some looking like they are studded with tiny jewels. The photo of the caterpillar above is the larva of a closely related moth (Acraga coa).

Today's drawing is Sepioteuthis lessoniana, a giant squid. I had a lot of fun working on the eye. I think I might break out the real paints for some of these. I'm looking forward to each day!
Join all the people drawing invertebrates this October. Draw 'em all... or just draw one or two. I'm so happy to see so many people participating.
HOWEVER
I would also like to ask you to join me in my PRO ANT protest movement. There were NO ANTS on the original list. Not one! It's an injustice to ant-kind. I nearly cried.
So, on the days with butterflies and moths, join me in drawing ants instead (or flies, they also got shafted) -- the world could not exist without ants. Here is the list:

Gelatinous Caterpillars
Friday’s (semi regularly) I try to post interesting non-Gloomth related things or personal photo essays. Today we have a weird animal! At first glance this creature looks like it belongs in the deep sea, undulating along the seafloor with the nudibranchs and sea slugs- it is actually a caterpillar!
This is the Acraga coa caterpillar, the larvae of a fuzzy orange moth native to Mexico, Belize,…
