Cute little fuzzy caterpillar

Man, this thing looked so fuzzy and cuddly, I just wanted to pick it up and hug it.......











Yeah, I know.... I would have REALLY regretted doing that. For those of you who might not know what this is, it is a Puss Caterpillar. Considered to be the most venomous caterpillar in the USA.

I've never heard of these.

Never got stung by them myself, but I understand it is particularly unpleasant. Not real crazy about the idea of them hanging around in our citrus trees. Would be an easy matter to be reaching for a tangerine and not see one on the opposite side of a leaf and have my hand brush up against it.

Maybe I should have shown this one the underside of my shoe instead of taking photos of it.

I would definitely not want them around.

Those are called Tribbles. I saw them on the old Star Trek show, but I don't know how the Romulans got them to earth. LOL I have not seen any in my area but will be watching for them. Great photography too.

Do you have any green alien ladies from Star Trek in your yard? I would like to see a photo if you do.
