Caterpillars

[elusivek]

A couple weeks back, my Dad was just mucking around in his balcony garden thing and spied some 5 or 6 caterpillars!

Those eyes are really fake eyes and when I looked really closely to the real face of the caterpillar, it reminded me of those... bug monster thingies in Nausicaa

They were kind of cute. The caterpillars, not the bug monster thingies.

Later I found out these aren't butterfly caterpillars but moth caterpillars. My Dad thought them interesting. He said they looked like Dachshunds. I didn't take a backside shot but I kind of got what he meant by that. They are long and had a little tail.

We are a weird family.

Anyway, Dad said that he thought them interesting, so he decided to let them eat his plants. However, he had a bout of heavy rain and a typhoon, I think (or it was just a monsoon wind)... anyway, after a night, they either got blown off or fell off.... and there were no more caterpillars on the plants.

And there was absolutely no final point to this post, haha!

If those caterpillars are the size of the ones in Nausicaa I'd be very worried ;)
