This is no ordinary tree.
This is an alien infested tree.
These little critters spawn in vast numbers, feeding on the nutrients from the tree's bark. The pale green ones are the hatchlings, which undergoes a gradual metamorphosis into adulthood through a colourful cycle of pink hue to scarlet red, and gradually evolving into a brackish maroon hue.
Luckily for humanity, caterpillars have an appetite for these alien spawn and often comes to humanity's rescue. Thank you, little brave caterpillar.
*No aliens were harmed in the photography process. A few were eaten, and they tasted quite yummy. It was as we were told, 苺より甘い. You've got access to google translator, go look it up.
It's amazing how cute the berry is. . .the caterpillar has good taste. :-)
