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.
Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)
Mike Ness auto-awesomed What a weird show. Huge mosh pit full of dude-bros and middle aged dudes (and some badass chick with hemp purse that she never lost) stomping around like the freakin' Bushwackers from the WWF. Met a middle-aged english couple who used to be in the music distributor business who had been at a bunch of the same shows as we had over the last few years.

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.
