RE: Wretched and Poisonous Saddleback Caterpillars
What's with the massive random down-votes lately? A few bad players like that will destroy the platform completely...
You got some nice close-ups of the little bugger, though! It looks like they're pretty destructive. The adults are really ugly, but the caterpillar phaes is sort of fascinating. It would be a lot of fun to point a good macro lens at one. In your case, though, you may want to try spraying diluted dish soap or maybe a commercial deterrent on your crops. That rash looks painful.
Excellent advise with the diluted soap! I’m really glad curatorhulk came to the rescue. This is a really cool/creepy post. With the first picture I thought you were pulling a funny and that the caterpillar was a lego toy. Thanks so much for sharing that nasty critter
If I'm right in my investigations there is a downvote war again (berniesanders vs fulltimegeek) and somehow I am seen as linked to fulltimegeek since he gave me that temporary delegation a year ago so his enemy is downvoting my posts to punish him even though I highly doubt he ever reads my posts and doesn't interact with me. Really sucks. I think @old-guy-photos is getting downvoted too like me. I'm so mad that stuff like this is still happening.
I got some good close shots with my iphone. It does well outdoors. They are neat looking but nasty to touch.
