Fantastic!

Donald Trump's wig!
Totally right! Haha
Happy to do it, Phillip. Too bad they aren't as benign as tribbles (and probably a good thing they aren't as plentiful).
Hahahaha lol yes, auntnance you're awesome! You made my day!
Looks like a Star Trek tribble.
Amazing and cute! Indeed, thanks for the comments!
I'm speechless! :O Amazing find!
He's so cute!
Thank you for your comments people!
Look on the bright side, Phillip, at least it won't bark late at night... :-)
How unusual. Amazing!
The difference is that you can´t pet this puppy dog. lol.
In portuguese this caterpillar is called "Lagarta cachorrinho", meaning puppy dog caterpillar,because it looks like a pekinese dog.. It is from genus "Podalia".
Thanks harsuame I didn't think it was a caterpillar at first sight.
