Setora nitens Caterpillar, Stinging Nettle Slug Caterpillar or Cup Moth Caterpillar. Macro photo of contrast and comparison. Which is the more toxic!


Size comparison of this formidable yellow Caterpillar against a standard red Chili Pepper along with the contrast of general potency or toxicity. Setora nitens carries quite sting which is released through its spines to any potential predator the Chili Pepper on the other hand is toxic in a more favourable way through its Capsaicin oil which gives any chili its spicy potency and a rush for Chili Heads. Which is the more tolerable is a matter of personal opinion!
