The other day the kids found the most biggest caterpillar in the world! So we googled it and turns out it was an Imperial Moth caterpillar. Those are those really big brown moths that cling to the size of the house and your thinking, that’s Mothra, when’s Godzilla gonna show up?
It was a little scary looking at first so I thought I could enter it in this week’s Illustration Friday word, “Phobia”.
After a while, I warmed up to it. It was sort of cute in a really ugly kinda way.
This is the real thing crawling across my hand. This little guy stretched across my palm, which is about 4 inches long.
