Alright, before all of the people (not) reading this have a chance to totally jump down this little guy's throat I am going to go ahead and throw it out there. This is the lamest caterpillar ever. Not only did he give up his perch on some sweet mushroom somewhere, he has no hooka to be seen. And trust me, I looked.
In all seriousness though, this is one nasty looking bug. Bugs dont typically bother me. im not just saying that because I am a super tough and cool macho dude (which of course I am), but bugs snakes and critters have just never really made me uncomfortable. That is until I met this little guy.
This is on a tomato plant I had bought at Home Depot the day before. The plant isnt even in the ground at this point so it is pretty safe to assume that he just traveled in my car with me. At first I just thought he was an odd looking leaf, and I went to brush him off. But as my hand approached, and I do not exagerate here, that little monster turned his head, looked me in the eye and hissed at me. Yes, he hissed. Just like some sort of rabid animal protecting his territory. It sent chills down my spine and he still haunts my dreams. Granted he doesn't haunt my garden because I picked up a stick and poked at him like a little girl until he finally let go of his deathlock on my plant long enough for me to sweep him into the creek. I would have crushed him, but the last thing I wanted was to have his family seeking revenge.
Just look at his face, that bug is pure unadulterated evil.
