Today, my mom and I were walking outside to look at the garden and she saw a weed. On impulse, she decided to pull it. She had no idea that this was lurking under a leaf:
Look at its face. Doesn't it just look like it wants to eat you? I think it would be sad to look pissed-off all your life. Even if you were extremely happy or excited about something, no one would be able to tell because they'd be too busy wondering what they did to make you so angry that you're probably plotting to nom all over their face and rip out their eyeballs.
Anyways, those little barb-hair things are filled with stinging venom. My mom thought it might have been a thorn, but no. It was a caterpillar. Did you know they could sting? I didn't.
She was worried that her eyes would start bleeding or she would get radioactive powers like Spiderman or something else catastrophic, so I looked up stinging caterpillars on Google. I found out that they're called saddleback caterpillars and their poison can cause swelling, nausea, and rash.
WARNING: Do not touch.
