I just got stung by these buggers. Feels like fire! Any ideas?!!!! They will soon be dead.
What is this worm?
Some type of Asp maybe??

Some interesting facts about Saddleback Caterpillar.
YIKES! Not anybody I want to meet in my garden!
When I first saw the picture I thought it was a joke -- how'd she get the vests on those little caterpillars, and where are their bicycles?
I've never seen them, either, but I know some of those things can sting like the devil. Hope the hurt doesn't last long.
They are really cute in person. They don't look real. Its hard to believe that something this cute could cause so much pain.
lol brigidlily....I sort of thought that as well.. :D

Looks like the guys working on the highway in those neon vest. Wonder how much their new toll road will cost? Kinda makes ya think now don't it. LOL
It would be interesting to see what those guys over on the butterflies thread think. This should be one they recognize immediately because it looks so unique.
What I mean to say is what moth will it make? It should be a pretty one.
