Fun Stuff > CHATTER
Anybody know anything about Caterpillars?
redglasscurls:
MaiAda, I despise the caterpillars you posted:( They're invasive gypsy moth caterpillars (AKA those gross tent-weaving ones) and they destroy foliage like no other, doing permanent damage to trees.
I'm curious as to why the OP made the post- did you have a run-in with a particularly nasty spiny caterpillar? Scouts always used to get the spines in their hands at camp, you can use clear packing tape to help pull out the spines even if you can't see them, if that's what happened. The site Joe posted is good for identifying/finding whether it was poisonous.

I like the tiny black inchworms we used to find when out in trees! As with caterpillars they also have the most awesome way of moving ever.
I had a "wildlife factfile" one of the binders you got all the sheets sent out to you with, must have cost a bomb but as a kid I read them for literally hours a day, they taught me to read and the biggest 2 files I had were birds, and bugs so if I were at home in my attic I could tell you lots about caterpillars and the like, but rite now all I have in this little flat is the interbutts.
I stopped likeing ladybugs when I was climbing trees and there were 2 of them doing it like, rite next to where I was about to go. Srsly guise, get a room.
This post is kinda pointless then and I am sorry.
I need to learn some new words also.
jhocking:
It amuses me so hard how ladybugs are called "ladybirds" in England.
McTaggart:
They're ladybirds in all the colonies!
