🔆bone collector ✅A new carnivorous caterpillar has been discovered on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, earning the nickname "bone collector" because of its unusual behaviour. ✅The "Bone Collector" is a newly discovered carnivorous caterpillar found exclusively on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. ✅It constructs a protective case using body parts of its prey, such as ant heads and fly wings, along with silk. ✅Habitat: The bone collector is found in a small, isolated patch of mountain forest on Oahu, which is also threatened by invasive species. ✅The caterpillar's evolutionary lineage is estimated to be at least six million years old, older than the formation of the Hawaiian islands themselves. ✅This caterpillar feeds on insects caught in spider webs and adorns its silk case using the body parts of its prey, such as ant heads and fly wings. #gs3 #prelims #science_technology @upsc_science_and_technology
