Question ???
I have recently found a caterpillar for my bug project it looks similar to the wooly bear caterpillar above, but it is fatter and all black. If you think you know what it is, PLEASE HELP.

Never mind
Never mind I found out it was a Giant Leopard caterpillar; I couldn't bend it because I sprayed it when I captured it.
