We found a jolly little chocolate brown hairy caterpillar in the house a couple of weeks ago, making its way across the dining room floor. I just popped it on a leaf and escorted it outside.

years ago, when we had Ross, he proudly brought Daddy P the most amazing - and hooj - elephant's hawkmoth caterpillar. It was unharmed, posed for photos, and then we set it safely in the garden again, whilst distracting Ross with a treat or three.

Any hairy caterpillar can be toxic to any animal and human alike, can cause a severe allergic reaction. When threatened they throw toxic hairs, much like a Porcupine with quills. Just putting it out there.

Their protection measure.
