Caterpillar Doesn't Want to be Carried || ViralHog

Occurred on August 9, 2018 / Monteverde, Costa Rica

"While doing an entomology internship in Monteverde, Costa Rica this past summer, I came across this massive caterpillar, the larva of Pachylia syces. I went to pick it up but was shocked and a little alarmed to find that it had a strange defense mechanism. This giant caterpillar thrashed around and made a loud clicking noise, unlike anything I'd ever seen or heard before! The caterpillar's crazy looking colors and surprising behavior are unique and fascinating."

It's wierd how it can squirm that strongly, when all there is inside is pretty much just goo.

He sounds like the little metal ball in an empty spray paint can

Whenever I see a Cater, I adore them, but I never know which one will cause skin irritation when I contact them

Caterpillar: RELEASE ME! I COMMAND IT!

Bro, every time I see this type of caterpillar, over time I don't feel afraid of the caterpillar, for some reason I feel like holding it.
