You have to love the news. The one second "we can't come outside" line from the interveiw is ridiculous and I bet there was more to what that woman was saying, like "we can't come outside without seeing a caterpillar or two"

[tinytom113]

this is why we need another borat! to keep these goddamn gypsies out of america

[knightace2002]

@luigidaman908 yes that's true but remember it's also very important to keep them in check as many plants and vegetation that we rely on for food and stuff get killed bc of these caterpillars

OK! I HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM! i live in toronto and at my old school we had these moths in our trees but we had no idea they were invasive speechies! kids would keep them and pik em up and take em home! and i have no i dea if the gypse caterpillars r still there becuz i havent been bak there 4 over 4 year! so im doin a science project on them and thats wen i realized the problem and im only 14 and im not sure how to deal with the problem! i dont wanna like make a big fit out of it but i wanna no

I LUV MOTHS!!! HOW COULD YOU PEOPLE NOT LIKE THEM THEY R BEAUTIFUL

[luigidaman908]

dont idiots realize that catipillars turn in to oh I dont know POLLONATORS!! Incase you people dont know what that is its an animal that spreads pollen from one plant to another aka making more plants that we need. So next time you see a catipillar think about what they turn into. plus Ive got a big one on my desk. And when he turns into a moth im going to release him>:)
