Jealous?
lol........When I found this critter I called my son on the cell and was squealing to him...he had NO idea what I was talking about. I got home...showed the pics of this tiny caterpillar...and then was upset cause wasn't sure I had what I THOUGHT I had. Guessing I do since it was taken out of ID Request.

I was faster! I was playing with some just recently when someone started screaming at me it was parasitical and was going to attack me. I just laughed at her and kept playing.
