'Gripping footage highlighting a cool but creepy-looking moth larva has been shared by Jaymes Jennings. <br /><br />In this video, the aforementioned creature dramatically writhes on the surface. <br /><br />At first glance, this insect, identified as a monkey slug caterpillar, can easily be mistaken for a dead leaf, a flattened kitten, or, as gross as it may sound, a chicken tender. <br /><br />"This weird boi visited me on a camping trip at Ohiopyle in PA," the filmer said. "Turns out he’s a Hag Moth Larva, also known as a Monkey Slug Caterpillar."<br /><br />As per entomologist Eric Day, these insects are relatively rare. Moreover, he advised people to avoid getting close to them since they sting in defense. <br /><br />This chilling moth encounter was caught on camera on August 30, 2020. <br /><br />Name: Jaymes Jennings<br />Location: Ohiopyle, PA'<br />WooGlobe Ref : WGA432016<br />For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com
