Halloween Bugs?

 



Tis the season to clean out the flower beds and cut back the plants. Ran across creepy caterpillar here while cutting back the peonies. This is a saddle back moth caterpillar caution they sting. The little hairs are venomous. Ask me how I know! After lots of Benadryl the swelling on my arm is going down but still hurts like the dickens. Do not be fooled by that cute face these things are evil !!!

  1. Wow! I have heard of caterpillars that have venomous hairs, but never knew anyone who experienced touching them. Glad the swelling is going down and I think I will be looking more carefully in my garden!

    1. In Louisiana they have a black caterpillar usually on oaks that looks almost like a wooly worm that stings. I have seen them but never been bitten by one.
