Jonna – so far no survivors, you're safe to return!
Mikey – I'm with you, if they put me or mine at risk, down the terlet they go!
Debbie – they do indeed look petable.
Anon – flushing seems to work, especially since we consume those oranges.
Debi
when living in atlanta my garden always had lots of caterpillars, the up side was we also had lots of butterflies. however the “gusanos” can be destructive little critters. there was a green product called “dipel” that would give the cater-sanos a bad stomach ache and they would stop eating. that product has been taken off the market, but has been replaced with “thuricide” one spray and never any caterpillars. its good because you can be selective about only spraying the plants you don't want eaten.
Oh good. More scary bugs I've never heard of. Thanks for the warning. Just the sort of things I'd probably want to pet.
Megalopyge Opercularis! Holy Guacolmole! I'm glad to learn about these little critters. I've seen them around for years and just always ignored or killed them. Never knew they were “venenosa”! They look like something they would eat on Survivor, or Andrew Zimmer would indulge in and try and convince his audience how wonderful they taste with a bit of salt and a splash of salsa! No thanx – flush the little darlings!
You flushed them? OMG! What if they crawl back up out of the fosa septica and… argh! Remind me never to use your bathroom again.
