* Their heads are pointed, indicating they may be chewing on the flower.
* The caterpillars are positioned facing away from each other while feeding.
**Flower Features**
* The flowers are blue-purple in color and appear to be partially eaten by the caterpillars.
* The stems are brownish-red with a fuzzy texture similar to the caterpillar's hairs.
**Background**
* The background of the image is black, which suggests that it was taken indoors or under artificial lighting.

Génera de polillas del enebro (Uresiphita reversalis) comiendo flores de la flor azul (lupinus) en los jardines hortícolas de TAMU en la Universidad Texas A y M. College Station, Texas, 15 de abril de 2008. La imagen proporcionada es una fotografía en primer plano de dos gusanos que comen flores de flor azul (lupinus) en los jardines hortícolas de TAMU en la Universidad Texas A y M. **Características del gusano** * Los gusanos son de color verde amarillento con puntos negros y blancos que corren a lo largo de su longitud. Tienen pelos largos y delgados que cubren gran parte de sus cuerpos. * Sus cabezas son puntiagudas, lo que indica que pueden estar mascando la flor. * Los gusanos están colocados uno hacia el otro mientras se alimentan. **Características de las flores** * Las flores son de color azul púrpura y parecen estar parcialmente comidas por los gusanos. * Los tallos son marrones rojizos con una textura peluda similar al pelo del gusano. **Antecedentes** * El fondo de la imagen es negro, lo que sugiere que se tomó en interior o bajo iluminación artificial. **Impresión general** La foto parece haberse tomado de noche en un entorno controlado como un invernadero. Esto permitiría al fotógrafo usar un flash sin molestar a los gusanos y las flores. – Spanish translation
