Intersting Bug...

[Plecostomus]

It's a silver-spotted skipper larva. Found it while I was working on my van outside. Very cool critter. It will turn into a skipper which is a kind of butterfly/moth thing.

The articulated neck and orange eye-spots give it an alien-like appearance.

It must be a cool critter if it can serve as a mechanic!

 

[RoJoHen]

It looks like a caterpillar with a helmet on its head. Perhaps it is preparing for battle?

 

[Zulu Romeo]

It looks more like a bandana on its head. Or a full face mask. Perhaps it's about to rob a bank or indulge in recreational drug use or BDSM?

So this could be some kind of first contact situation?

 

[ManOnTheWave]

With its little helmet, it looks like a Micronaut.

Could it be...?

 

[RJDiogenes]

When it turns into a Skipper, it's going to hit you all on the head with its hat.

 

[Ruaidhri]

Oh wow, a Gilligan's Island reference. Never saw that one coming!

 

[Plecostomus]

I released it this morning on a honey-locust tree. Should be ok there.

Could it be...?

im sorry, I should know better than to ask this, but is that for real?

 

[RJDiogenes]

Yup, that's Mr Mind from the original Captain Marvel comics.

I dont know if I should laugh or cry, thats crazy.

anyone who is not vulnerable to mind control (there must be some heroes out there which are not) could just step on him problem solved.

Could it be...?

Now I remember why I stopped reading comic books.

 

[thestrangequark]

I dreamed about scary moths because of this thread!

 

[Joshua Howard]

It looks like an evil alien conquerer.

I found a Conifer Seed Bug on the wall a couple of days ago, though that pales in comparison with your discovery.

Moths are not scary.

 

[thestrangequark]

^They ARE! Especially when they are all hairy and have big, luminous eyes!
