It does sit ups while eating. What a lean green machine

[TitanTantrum]

I can't imagine getting eaten alive ass first, what a way to go.

[obsideonyx]

Imagine if they were as tall as trees and they pretended to be trees until the next human walked by.

[fabienzaca]

that's kinda amazing how it's upper body is like hand with sharp "claws" making it really easy to catch it's prey :D

Fly: "Oh look, it's a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube - *OH GOD NOOO!!!*"

[FnD]

Do not confuse the sound effect that caterpillar make when it catches his prey a fake one. They always make that badass sound whenever they mercilessly catch his prey.

[Bjarkenb]

Isolation does weird things to the mind, and weirder things to the wildlife...

[cobaltbluestickman]

Probably the most badass catepillar i seen so far

[buggobop]

The first thing that comes to mind.
The Face Hugger from Aliens

[Gangland]

"Excuse me, sir can I devour your flesh?"

[tnie]

So theyve evolved into carnivores?...I wonder what happens when they turn into butterfly's o_o

[MauroTamm]

[hindae]

Couldnt help but every time I saw it eating thinking "Om nom nom nom"

[kylezaking]

Videos like these make me proud to be human and not a bug.

[undefined]

Oh, that's a nope caterpillar, found in the trees of the I'll never go there forest, in screwthamazon.

[adoboawesome]

[Donyce]

In my 27 years of living, I can honestly say I just saw something I've never, ever seen/thought of before.

[sschafi]
