Kim..are you a Biologist?...I Find that your videos are worthy of National Broadcast....do you have any sponsors?

[SwampGirlAdventures]

@4lethalforce No not a biologist just a love for nature :) Yes we do have a sponsor Al's Army Navy they have supplied with the boots and even our new outfits that you will see in our new videos coming soon!

I'm really scared now. I hate caterpillars, snakes, lizards, frogs, and toads. I love mammals though. I'm just not much of a bug or reptile type person. Then again- I love iguanas.

@bhav1110 I love Iguanas Too :)

ive gotten stung by one and it hurt sooo bad the doctor said its like 10,000 bee stings

[LitlMiraclePupnPony]

Yup...I just had a run in with one of these lovelies. OMG...ok so maybe the pain isnt QUITE as bad as a yellow jacket but its close. The pain is a combo small wasp meets stinging nettle feeling and it doesnt go away quickly..evil little bugs most commonly found in Aug n Sept in FL. Baking soda paste is good for the pain following the tape which you MUST DO to get the brisles out. Great Video! Thanks!

I got to go back hiking up in The Green Swamp or better yet the Ocala National Forest before I am no longer able to do it. I enjoyed hiking up there solo for five days. You never know what you might see.

I want more. I miss you.

Interesting caterpillar. I love the markings on it. Most venomous creatures in nature tend to have striking coloration and this little specimen is no different. You know, I think I saw something similar to it here in East Tennessee but the colors were more of a white on gray the "spines" had a bit more of a feathery look to them. I'll have to look into that now that my curiosity has been peaked. Thanks again for another interesting video.
