It was actually 'passing motion/ excreting' as well... Not sure why. But it was really sad.
One of the host plants of the Atlas moth caterpillar is the Singapore cherry. Think it is found at the canal also.
Greenish innards that already are smashed out. There were greenish looking pellets found in the haemolymph Not sure what it is...
It was about 6-8 cm in length, 2cm in width.
The characteristic fleshy spines of the caterpillar.
Let's just hope it will survive, it is really quite a pity if it dies like that since it seems rather mature... do catepillars have regenerative powers?
After some observation, I put it back.
[Edit] Today I sawwwww a house shrew dead at the canal, plus weird birds with a tail swooping down to the canal waters... [/Edit]
