Little Arabella Miller
Found a furry caterpillar.
First it crawled upon her mother
Then upon her baby brother.
Folk said, 'Arabella Miller,
Take away that caterpillar'.
I think Wendy and I must be on the same wavelength, only my caterpillar is not furry and hers is not a caterpillar!
That is a huge caterpillar! It reminds me of one that scared me half to death when I was a little girl. We lived in the city at the time. Who sees creatures like that in the city? Now I find them fascinating!
ReplyDeleteI remember my brother touching a big orange caterpillar when we were children - the tiny hairs come off and cause terrible itching! Much wailing and gnashing of teeth.

No, unfortunately I haven't the faintest idea. Any suggestions welcome!

I don't know. I spoke to a neighbour who said she has seen them but doesn't know what they are or what they turn into.
DeleteBeautiful creature.
ReplyDeleteI've now looks at hundreds and hundreds of photos and I cannot find one that looks like that!
ReplyDeleteIt's very plump and ready to make a cocoon, if you know what kind of leaf it was eating it would be helpful to find a what kind is. I'v never heard of this rhyme we just have the inch worm one.
ReplyDeleteBoy that is huge. Now you have us all looking at pictures of Caterpillars.
ReplyDeleteWow what a big caterpillar!
