I saw something strange on the floor in my house and didn’t even realize what it was. It lay motionless, like a piece of bright green plant, a torn-off part of some house vine… or maybe a child’s toy that had fallen off the table. 🤔
I stood over it, trying to figure out what it was. The shape was too smooth, the color too bright, and those “horns” on the sides seemed plastic.
But as soon as I leaned in a little closer, the “thing” suddenly trembled. 😲 I froze. And then it suddenly moved and began to crawl.
I almost screamed in fear. The creature looked so strange, like it had flown straight out of an Alien movie. 😲
It slowly crawled across the floor, and dark spikes protruded from its body—long, thin, as if it were specifically warning, “Don’t touch me.”
When I found out what it really was, I was absolutely horrified, and fortunately, nothing happened to me. 😱
I gave the details in the first comment, and you be careful 👇👇
Later, I learned it was a saddle-necked caterpillar. And that I can consider myself incredibly lucky: if I had picked it up, as I intended to in the first seconds, everything could have ended very badly.
