Comments on the video of C. gangis, which six days after posting has more than 200,000 shares, express fear and confusion at this strange creature's inflating organs which are each about the length of the rest of his body. The behavior is confusing and makes it look a bit like a sinister alien. But the animal is harmless, as long as you don't eat too many of them.

These plants evolved toxicity to discourage insects from eating them, but the caterpillars bit back evolutionarilyin fact, it's necessary for them to eat the toxic plants in order to grow these glands as moths. The more toxins they eat, the bigger their hair-pencils ultimately will be. These toxins also have the added benefit of making them taste terrible
