some type of adult girl

pachiriscu:

MY SISTER’S BOYFRIEND BROUGHT A MOTH CATERPILLAR OVER TODAY AND I ASKED IF I COULD KEEP IT AND HE WAS LIKE ‘SURE’ SO NOW I HAVE ANOTHER PET CATERPILLAR!!!!!!!!!!

watch her roll around on my hand while she eats a piece of an orange pepper uvu

(also if somebody knows what kind of moth she’ll turn into can you tell me please?)

This is the kind of caterpillar I take care of in the lab! It’s called Manduca sexta– the caterpillars are known as tobacco hornworms and the adults are called sphinx moths or HORRIBLE WHIRRING DEATH DEMONS seriously they are so scary but if you’re one of those people who thinks moths are cute you’ll be fine. Also you’ll probably want to give it a dark, enclosed space to pupate because they like to burrow underground to do so (you can tell it’s ready when its skin gets all gross and clear and you can see its heartbeat down its back). Good luck!
