The COOLest caterpillar

Although this creature is the second most cool looking caterpillar that I know of , it is not to be touched. The spines on this wonderful thing are full of enough venom to keep one feeling a large amount of pain for a long time. Victims of this awesome looking thing speak of the pain of a bee or wasp string which unfortunately lasted for a minimum of a few hours.  

Now why I think its so cool.  Well it has what appears to have alien eyes, and a carpet on its back with a hole in the middle. Ah but wait ... those eyes are not the front   

The name of this wonderful creature that you never want to touch on pain of gloom is the * drum roll *  Saddleback Caterpillar

If one had a picture of a knight sitting on a horse and could combine them into one pic it would be so awesome.

Love this. This truly is one of the worlds most awesome caterpillars.
