MEET THE “BONE COLLECTOR” CATERPILLAR — AND YES, IT’S AS CREEPY AS IT SOUNDS

Scientists found a new caterpillar in Hawaii that lives inside spider webs, wears dead bugs like armor, and snacks on whatever unlucky insect gets caught.

It even eats its own kind if it’s feeling extra spicy.

Nicknamed the “Bone Collector,” it literally survives by stealing leftovers in the spider’s trap house — all while dodging death itself.

Only 62 of these tiny bug-wearing weirdos have ever been found, making them rarer than a group project where everyone actually does their part.
