Tussock Moth
<p><em>Monsoon is the season for moths in the Western Ghats. Here, a tussock moth of the </em>Lymantriidae <em>family can be seen laying eggs on a coffee leaf in Wayanad, Kerala. They are so named for the tufts of hairs they possess as caterpillars, which help deter predators</em>.</p>
