A very different kind of worm (?). Not seen this one before. Abhishek, you aware of this one? Thanks for sharing.

Never seen this, but it appears to be a caterpillar. Would require confirmation. Any other angles?
Tfs.

Not a beautiful species. :) The second image perhaps shows a part of the cocoon? Trying to learn everything will take several lifetimes, if at all it is possible.

Cheers,

Very interesting. Never seen one myself. Is it a Giant Redeye cat ?
