This is not a tasty gummy sweet but a Jewel Caterpillar found in Amazon Rainforest. They are covered with sticky goo-like, gellatinous tubercles that provides protection from its predator like ants until they metamorphosise into winged moths.

HAVE YOU SEEN IT GROWN UP THOUGH

literal pokemon

have you seen the cocoon it makes though? 

it’s so pretty as a baby, it looks like an actual gem. then suddenly it pupates into a net thing and when it comes out it looks like the fucking Lorax 

dude

this is a pokemon

acid caterpillar

Gosh

The net cocoon is actually a bit of evolutionary genius though!

See, it shares its habitat with ants that would happily drag a vulnerable pupae off to become snack food for their hideous hive mind. So the caterpillar builds a long stem leading down from its anchor point. Ants aren’t so good at climbing down such a narrow line, so the pupae is safe.

The net part comes from dealing with rain, which would flow down the stem and waterlog the cocoon. So the cocoon is a net, which allows for drainage and easy drying out afterwards.

Pokemon WISHES it could be as creative as nature

This is a Pokémon and no one can’t tell me otherwise.
