Researchers observed cateripillars in Hawaii trapping and eating snails. This behavior has never been observed before.
Most caterpillars are content to munch leafy greens and vegetable matter, but these little suckers are predators.

This is very interesting to me. I wonder if this is a new behavior, or simply a newly observed behavior. It appears only one species of caterpillar is prone to eating mollusks, Hyposmocoma molluscivora. Love that name! hehehe
What do y'all think? Is this a recent adaptation, or an ancient behavior we've jjust now noticed?
