Chinese brown velvet
As you know, the east is a delicate matter, and here even the caterpillars of the most ordinary butterfly can look very unexpected. For example, the Chinese brown velvet (Latin Mycalesis gotama) at the beginning of its life path combines the features of an ordinary caterpillar and a kitten.

Brown with beige divorces cute face with sharp ears, shiny nose and a pair of eyes-beads, protruding ahead of the light green torso on short legs, very reminiscent of the popular Japanese character “Hello Kitty”.
These amazing caterpillars live in the humid rainforests of northeastern India, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, South China, West Malaysia and Japan. They are found on sun-hidden forest glades at an altitude of up to 600 meters above sea level, feed on all sorts of herbs and bamboo leaves and prefer calm shady corners.

Growing up, cat-headed caterpillars turn into unremarkable butterflies from the velvet family, which never leave their native forest. Chinese brown velvet tresses are painted in light brown tones with dark spots (“eyes”) on the wings.

Such a discreet color scheme makes them invisible to birds of prey, and the signature jumping manner of flying makes them even more difficult to pursue.
Of course, this similarity of the caterpillar of the Chinese brown velvet with a pretty kitten is accidental, but scientists still can not say exactly what is the reason for this similarity: whether it is a protective mechanism, or just a quirk of Mother Nature.
