✤ Enispa prolectus - Erebidae
What seperates this species from the Lichen-Mimicking Eucyclodes caterpillar, is its shape and size. Enispa P. is roughly twice the size of the Eucyclodes caterpillar, and also does not have any spines along its side.
This caterpillar, like the Eucyclodes, covers itself in its food plant, lichen. It moves incredibly slowly, and wiggles to resemble lichen being blown around in the wind (presumably).
Known food plant/s: Lichen, as mentioned above.
