There's a webtoon horror comic called Hive. In the story, the world is attacked by giant man eating mutant insects. One of them is a caterpillar that camouflage itself as a street lamp post, snatching every people that walks under it. The only clue of its position is the randomly scattered shoes of its former victims around its seemingly normal street lamp body. I didn't know that monster was based of this particular insect. It's fascinating yet so creepy.
