So long... Endromid #Moth #Caterpillar (Oberthueria sp., Endromidae) At 5 inches (12cm) EXCLUDING the tail, its only defense against deadly parasitoids is that all-reaching swatting tail. https://t.co/keU47WUmAS

This is NOT an #AsianHornet! Itโs not even a #hornet! Itโs a beautiful harmless #hoverfly. An important #pollinator. It doesnโt sting! Itโs not a #wasp! no need to panic! Insects are a vital in the food chain. They are not pests! This beautiful creature is a Pal not a pest.
