Wilderness "DON'T TOUCH IT."

Posted by Bethany Jean Clement on Wed, Jun 24, 2009 at 11:52 AM

Would you like to be the 3,905,327th person to watch this Bolivian caterpillar motate across a patio? Yes—yes, you would.

Thanks to Ben.

Imagine Donald Trump's terror when he finally realizes...

Well, I never have to worry about seeing Bolivia before I die.

I love fuzzy caterpillars.

@4 - That's what I thought too. I wonder if those were miazaki's inspiration.

Thank goodness the Bolivian rain forest is being cut down quickly to make room for strip malls and trailer parks and feed lots. Those creatures need to go, I'm sure they do no earthly good.

I'm totally in love with that thing. I'm booking my ticket to Bolivia as we speak in search of the harry crawly thing.

In the words of David After Dentist: is this real life?

Awww, Megalopyge! Definitely don't touch it. The adults are super cute, too.

1.) That looks fake.

2.) If it's real... fucking kill it with fire.

It's real: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megalopyge_…

Yay Nature!

The only people that shouldn't love that thing are plants because they eat plants. Are you people plants?

It's beautiful and weird! Those are two of my favorite things.

It seems like a lot of the people on slog hate all living things. Why? Is it because you had no contact with nature or life as a child, and think that asphalt and steel are better than forest? I don't get it.

15: That's the slog alright. If it's not hip, urban and/or gay, kill it.
