Invader!




Meet Mr. Buckmoth Caterpillar who managed to get INSIDE our house (probably on Bouie. There were some Bouie hairs in its spines); I spotted him on the dining room floor. This kind hasn't popped me -- the Io moth is the kind that taught me about stinging caterpillars.
Maybe we should send some to the C.I.A. These guys ain't, as Ann Coulter says, "adorable."
Ah, the joys of living in S.E. Louisiana -- soon the termites will be swarming!

  2. All y'all DO have world-class bugs in your part of the world. That is one ugly caterpillar. I prefer the bright yellow, very big ones that belch diesel smoke. ;-)
