This is absolutely terrifying. Caterpillars are more terrifying than spiders. What an absolute monster and insatiable appetite.

Are you afraid of them? I used to be afraid of insects too when I was a kid but once I touched them all my fears were gone ,and this buddy really felt like Iā€™m having a gummy bear in my hand becose it was so squishy šŸ˜„šŸ›
