Clearing out the yard for a path the other day and found an enormous (several inches) fuzzy black-and-red caterpillar. Picked him up and looked at him closely--big, beautiful. Looking around later online to find out more about who/what he was, I was able to find a great photo of what he looked like HERE:

Unfortunately, I also learned, to my shock, that fuzzy caterpillars can be natural-born killers! Read the webpage above for more details. When will my disillusionment with Mother Nature end?
