Feathered Silkworm

The Feathered Silkworm gets its name from the feathery protrusions coming out of either side. These light-weight structures allow it to catch the air and have limited control over their direction. They then use their sticky silk like a long fishing line. When it hits something it will reel itself up until it is on what it "caught." The light sensing cells on the back have grown into a round shape, allowing it to see to its sides and back, as well as straight up.
