Found deep in the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador, the strange caterpillar looks like a giant ball of fuzz and has left viewers both fascinated and baffled.

The group, founded in 1991, helps preserve the region’s flora and fauna.
“I honestly don’t know what it is,” the foundation’s founder, Douglas McMeekin, told What’s The Jam.
“I mean, I know more or less what it is, it’s a caterpillar, a moth or a night moth.
“It’s fascinating, this creature with all this sort of hair around it.”
Experts believe it belongs to the flannel moth family, a group known for its fluffy orange appearance.

One user added: “That’s a baby Chewbacca.”
Another quipped: “If not huggable then why hug shaped?”
One person said: “He’s beautiful! I’d love to see him as a moth!”
