    I hate these things! When I was little, I was climbing up the ladder to a slide. When I got to the top, there were soooo many of these caterpillars. I freaked out and let go, and fell off the ladder! I didn't get hurt, I was just scared. Last year I went camping. I can't tell you how many of these fuzzy bastards dropped on me from the trees! The screams that came out of my mouth... Oh lord! I guess I'm not over my traumatizing childhood experience yet.

    True enough, and it is a great shot... one I don't think I would be able to stay around long enough to get!
