Caterpillars Can Be Cute or Creepy (Photos)

It Depends on How You Look at Them

 

This little guy was crawling around outside my office.

The door just got locked and I was waiting for a ride, without my camera.

So, I shot it with my cell phone.

 

If Mrs. RyukyuMike saw it, she'd scream and squish the thing.

Green stuff, squirts all over the place when she does that.

I picked the little critter up and and put him in a neighbor's planter for safekeeping.

When I got done shopping, he was still there.

So, I grabbed a real camera and shot him.  The, put it back on the ground where it came from.

Here's a video, I found where people make this guy look cute:

The common name for this caterpillar, when it sprouts wings, is Hawk Moth.

Its scientific nomenclature:  Theretra oldenlandiae

Would you call these critters cute or, creepy ?

Facebook Made Me Do It: Shoot Girls in Bikinis

This wasn't in the plan.

The purpose of the trip to Minna Jima was to shoot the lagoon.

If the tides and lighting wouldn't cooperate, birds were next on the list of things to do.

The way things turned out, birds and lagoons weren't worth my time, today.

A friend over on Facebook gave me this idea.

Shoot photos of girls in bikinis.

Cute.  Ain't they ?

Thanks gals !
