A female netizen shared a photo on Facebook, wanting to know what this pink thing crawling on the leaf stem, with 2 large spots on the back, and a needle-like object on the tail was. Netizens read the message, "looks good fake Oh", and many people feel like a cartoon Pepe pig, so they call it "Pepe Pig Worm"; but some netizens pointed out that it may be the larvae of the "Twill Moth".
"Oh my God, does anyone know what this worm is?" Thank you", the original PO's post in the Facebook community "Hsinchu Big and Small Things" came out, which attracted many netizens. The caterpillar in the photo appears unusually pink, and even somewhat transparent, with two colored spots on the back being the biggest feature, and each section of the body is lined with a 45-degree oblique line.
