Are these poisonous? I don't trust beautiful colored fuzzy caterpillars, ever since I was a kid....

[memutic]

@juventinorocks oh, mildly itchy, but nothing serious.

[aznlilboiz]

this is like the Chinese lion dance!!!

[SgtDamien]

It looks like those dragons that they parade im chinese festivals. Probably the coolest looking caterpillar

[Connorzorz]

What purpose do those four cotton-looking protrusions serve? Is it merely aesthetic?

[Gaaraguy13]

@Gaaraguy13 Invention*, my bad.

[Gaaraguy13]

For anyone wondering, this is a guitar adaptation of Bach's 2-Part intervention #4 in D Minor.

Gotta spread the music.

@audacityx NO! How would you like it if something stomped you?

[gmodman999]

Poor thing... It's itchy head I mean.

[wiebenjijzeg]

[S0XF0X]

Put some paint on those black tufts of fur, and you got yourself a Van Gogh caterpillar!

[Murmig]

"Ugh! My head! SO ITCHY!"

[BahoUtot]

What would you do if you saw one like this but with a human face in it? I'd probly step on it.

@memutic After watching, why do I feel itchy?
