Worm or caterpillar?


We're not sure what this guy is; a worm or a caterpillar. The boys thought he was interesting and looked a bit like poo. :)

This led to googling caterpillars- if you want to be freaked out, check out the goat moth caterpillar found in the UK! We also learned that venomous saddleback caterpillars ARE found in Kentucky!

Then we got sidetracked looking up tomato worms/ horn worms.  And watching cool videos of lizards eating these juicy worms. This then led to ordering some hornworms from Amazon as a birthday present for Eldon and his lizard. (Weirdest birthday present ever!)

Science with boys!
