The larva or caterpillar of Arctiinae or tiger moth family of Erebidae (superfamily Noctuoidea) does not drink water. They normally obtain sufficient fluids from the food plants that they eat. This caterpillar benefits from rain or other moisture reaching them, they use moisture to keep them from drying out too much. This caterpillar has a tendency to wander right before they pupate or become chrysalis. This caterpillars' defense system at the tip of each defensive hair is a microscopic barb with a weakened ring at the base, allowing the barb to easily break off in the skin of any animal that grabs onto them can be a cause of Lepidopterism. A fuzzy hairy caterpillar of tiger moth others have gone hiking on the walls to reach the scanty water lying on the wall at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 11/06/2023.
