Fuzzy Wuzzy

Posted by Dornbrau (Colorado Springs, United States) on 4 April 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a catepillar...
A milkweed tussock catepillar to be precise. Ironically this brilliantly colored hairball will eventually metamorphose into a rather drab brown moth.

He's cute. So full of colour. Its a pity that all he can do is to grow up to becoming a moth :)

Good shot! I love the depth of field, it really makes the caterpillar 'pop'

You should be careful with these creatures. There is a caterpillar found in Texas which can be excruciatingly painful and quite toxic to even touch. The hair of that particular creature are actually like poison darts. Saw the story of a woman who accidentally brushed one of them near her pool and had to be taken to ICU.

However, this is a very nice shot. :)
