LOL, yeh Carlton the best part of the blanket is that I left room for the saddle.. Don, uhm well i took a couple pics of the other end, not knowing what way was up, until well,, he pooped.. opps,, wrond side.. 
he sort of reminds me of the "Scrubbing bubbles" guy with the bristles on his face. |

That little guy maybe only an inch long, but he can pack a punch if touched with bare skin. Used to see them quite often on corn stalks. Well, most times you felt them before you saw them. I always heard them called Pack-Saddles, but I think the real name is Saddle-back. Either way, they hurt when they sting. |

well that sure got me interested,, and glad i din't touch it.. so I checked out the web and yep the true name is saddleback cat, and they are supposed to pack quite the sting, often accompanied by nasuea for several hours and pain that can last for days... Glad he's an un-caterpillar now Man the things you learn on the OLF.

Gee, Mike I'd sure be tempted to put him in a jar for a while and see what kind of creature you have there. Looks like if you picked him/her up by a whisker he'd/she'd come unravelled.

[QUOTE=mikev]they are supposed to pack quite the sting, often accompanied by nasuea for several hours and pain that can last for days[/QUOTE] Aha! That explains the prominent coloring. It's a "stop" sign for birds. Interesting. |

Serge, i have to admit I never thought of that, but now I can't believe i made it the title.. oh well to late to change it now.
Ron, at this point he's an un-caterpillar, he would be growing into any thing soon.. but my banana PLANT will. Funny thing while researching him on the web there was no mention of what he will grow up to be.. Mike |
