Meet the king of the Weird Little Guys, the Butternut Woollyworm (Eriocampa juglandis), native to North America.
They're the larval form for a wasp-like sawfly & they secrete tufts of wooly substance from epidermal glands to aid in camouflage.
All hail the king!

Epidermal scale growth, allometry and function in non‐avian dinosaurs and extant reptiles
Scale shapes in non-avian dinosaurs and extant reptiles are mostly retained through growth. However, positive scale allometry and proportional differences in scale breadth are also detected, which ar...
