White thing on custard apples

2020-07-14

I was always curious about white things on custard apples (it’s very common). Thought was some kind of fungus. Closer observation showed silk cocoon like structure made of threads. Then suddenly something moved. It was an insect which was creating this structure using it’s tail !
