i have a couple of really blurry, grainy photos i took as a child of one that looked a lot like that. for years i assumed it was a luna moth 'cos that was the only thing i could think of remotely that big in its winged form. but apparently there doesn't have to be much relationship between caterpillar size and butterfly / moth size.
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.

ReplyDeletePersonally, i find the idea of a bug that thinks, offensive!
ReplyDeleteThis needs something for scale so we can be properly impressed

ReplyDeleteyou might be able to figure out what sorta dude this guy is using discoverlife.org - Caterpillars -- identification guide -- Discover Life
Pretty sure it's a polyphemus moth, like Shar Banning posted, it was over three inches long.
