A Eupterote mollifera caterpillar, commonly known as the Moringa hairy caterpillar, is seen covered in a white fungal growth after being infected by Isaria fungi on a Moringa tree (Moringa oleifera) trunk in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on October 29, 2024. Isaria, a genus of fungi primarily in the family Clavicipitaceae (or Cordycipitaceae, according to some classifications), infects insects by penetrating their cuticle with enzymes. Once inside, the fungus proliferates in the insect's haemocoel, spreading mycelia through the haemolymph and tissues. This fungal invasion eventually drains the insect's nutrients, destroys its tissues, and releases toxins, leading to the insect's death.
