This little guy (or gal?) was hanging out with us in the shed one evening. I think it's a giant leopard moth. I guess if I were really hungry, this wouldn't be one to eat. (CS has me thinking about everything now ----> "hmmm... what good can it do me, in terms of surviving"?lol ) They can secrete droplets from their glands to make the birds get a bad taste in their mouth. I read that even as a caterpillar, their bristles can break off, causing a rash if you touch it. Interesting.
I've noticed these critters - caterpillars, centipedes, worms, etc - more lately because I have a 6 year old bringing them to me now in containers & jars. "Look! Look at this worm!" Yeah... I see the worm & nooooo I don't want to hold it!
Just wanted to share a photo of the night shift shop manager:
