Don't Pet the Hairy Caterpillar


Minus 6 months that I lived in Mississippi (AKA the VERY VERY DARK MONTHS) I have lived my whole little life in Texas. Every child that grows up in Texas knows about the "asps". We are taught to stay away from those scary black caterpillars. For awhile I was scared to look at them. I never got bit by one.

Today I learned not to ever ever touch any hairy caterpillar. This little bugger to my left ended up on my blanky and I touched it and it felt like lightening.

I think that it is a "Buck Moth" and I know that it is a bastard.
