Girlfriend, you've got some weird looking critters in your neck of the world!

This one is really creepy, crawly, ugly!

Hugs and Grins, Marti

Well, Marge...I kinda liked this guy,
so I had to go look him up.
He's a Saddleback Caterpillar Moth.

Here's some more info on him, if you're interested.

Thanks for sharing him.
Hugs,

Just found this too...kind of confirms that it's a good thing
that you decided not to try and make friends with this guy...

Dear Marge:

I read the information Vicky sent you and it appears this caterpillar is not only strange but not too friendly either! Enjoyed the picture, poem and information.
I have never seen one around here!

Love

Different indeed. Maybe he only attacks palm trees which we don't have in Pacific N. W. Love, Joyce

Don't know where my reply to this went ... but thanks Vicky for the research~

Thanks everyone~
He's a critter that fortunately isn't in abundance here ... as it's the first one I've ever seen~
