This is the first-ever video of what we're calling the "hermit crab caterpillar"! We're pretty sure this strange caterpillar is a NEW SPECIES. We went to the Peruvian Amazon to see amazing things, but we never expected this :)
But that makes me wonder: What *is* a species anyway? And how do you know if you've found a new species?
