1A caterpillar with the image of human face

A man from Washington named Robert Palmer (70) was giving water to his horse when he found a bug sitting on the trough and as he was going to crush it, he saw something unusual. Robert noticed that the caterpillar had an image of a human face on its back. He clicked it and sent to many wildlife experts for finding out the type of caterpillar. However, no reply has been received from any of them and even the caterpillar has died now.
