This is yet another nature video from David Weiller (previously), this time starring a hawkmoth caterpillar of the Sphingidae family, which has the ability to inflate its head to look like a badass snake’s if threatened by a potential predator like a bird or lizard. How about that! Me? Whenever I feel threatened I just curl up in a ball and *waving wand* cast my patronus charm. “What, uh, what animal is that?” I’m not sure, but a lot of times it appears stuck on its back and I get my ass kicked.

Keep going for the video, but the gif is probably sufficient.
