I watched a pair of Pin-striped Tit-Babblers (Mixornis gularis gularis) call out in the mid-morning as they forage in the undergrowth.
One spotted a large green caterpillar that was then branch swiped.
It may be my fancy, but it did appear as though the bird knew it had to drain out the internal fluids (juices) of the caterpillar (see above). It was collected and taken to feed juveniles.
