Nope, just an empirical lab experiment to determine if the air blast that dismantles a spider will also cause structural failure on a caterpillar.
I suspect that the rigid exoskeleton on a spider with it's low cross sectional area will be more resistant to high velocity air streams; than the relatively soft external membrane wrapping around the horn worm caterpillar.
BUT I need a real world test to verify my hypothesis... :)
All Hypothesis are important, because that is the gate of knowledge. :0
Some knowledge is more important than others, LOL!
But it is all good to know, if someone is in a SHTF situation; saving ammunition may be wise, and if not needed, can be used for other things! In my Gamo pellet rifle. one of these BBs can equal a Rabbit to eat....:)
We just found two more tonight. They're really easy to miss. Look for their poop, then you'll find the worm above it. @ironshield
Better check, they can do a lot of damage fast!
oh smithlabs, you think you have the answer for everything.

:)very true. and rabbit is good eatin!
I took one with the Gamo, at 60 yards, with a head shot! That is a Nasty toy.
:)an air rifle at 60 yards? I thought you didn't drink?
