Oh, that needs to be set to music! I had some funk playing in the background while I was watching this, and it fit really well! Cute li'l dood...: sharlit159; | May 04, 2008 at 01:33 PM

The phrase "cute as a bug" come to mind...: Larkness; | May 04, 2008 at 01:39 PM

Awh... I wish he was as fluffy as he looks and not spiky :(: anabanana; | May 04, 2008 at 01:39 PM

I've never come across one that was actually "spiky", in my experience they actually are quite soft. Unless I'm just a real tough chick or something...?: julianna; | May 04, 2008 at 01:51 PM

I hate bugs, and particularly wormy things, but I admit this is kind of cute. And it's little back legs are anerable. Just don't let me see it or its cousins near my apartment.: chanpon; | May 04, 2008 at 01:59 PM

Looks like one of the soot sprites from Spirited Away!: Creepy Sheep; | May 04, 2008 at 02:07 PM

cute! fuzzy butt: eikoleigh; | May 04, 2008 at 02:18 PM

What? No tags on this one?! Where shall I go if I evar wish to see it again? I like Unusual Animals, personally.: Megan; | May 04, 2008 at 02:19 PM

QWIK! Somebudii kawl Steev McBleen!: jmuhj; | May 04, 2008 at 02:25 PM

"Doo de dum de doo" *Ehn!* (crosses crack in sidewalk) "Dum de do de do": binky-mama; | May 04, 2008 at 02:45 PM

We used to be scared of these as kids... they sting!: JC; | May 04, 2008 at 02:48 PM

I think this is a woody caterpillar. I see them crawling in my garage time to time. Very cute furry caterpillar with pure black head and rear end with a rich brown middle. I normally don't like caterpillars, but this type is downright cute.: Joy; | May 04, 2008 at 02:49 PM

What a cutie! I wish I had caterpillars in my garage :)Do they really sting?: Annie J; | May 04, 2008 at 02:52 PM

*adjusts lecturin' glasses* This is a variety of catterpiggle known as a "woolly bear." They are generally quite fuzzular and soft, and turn into pretty flutterbyes when they grow up. Many people used to use them as a weather forecaster--the woollier they are, the more likely the coming season will be cool (though this is probably not so, it makes them that much more fun to watch). *nods wisely, polishes glasses*: Shadowtiger; | May 04, 2008 at 02:54 PM

Just did research - it is a woolly bear caterpillar. Here's a link http://www3.islandtelecom.com/~oehlkew/spisabel.htm for more info. I have never touched one, but have tried to pick them up with something and they curl up, looking just like a miniature hedgehog with black and brown "quills". Lore has it that the wider the brown section is, the milder the winter.: Joy; | May 04, 2008 at 03:00 PM

Aww. Woolly Worms! We used to collect and play with these during recess at my school. =) They definitely don't sting!: Erica; | May 04, 2008 at 03:01 PM

Not to be One Of Those Downer People, but if you do see a super-fuzzy caterpillar on the pavement, gently help it on its way where people won't step on it -BUT DON'T TOUCH IT WITH SKIN- use a twig or a bit of paper. Because some caterpillars do sting. Quite nastily too. This has been your public service announcement good day.: Yubi Shines; | May 04, 2008 at 03:12 PM

I'm sad that my submissions to CuteOverload have never been accepted, and yet a caterpillar makes it!: compy-saur; | May 04, 2008 at 03:30 PM

I know this is a cattehpillah, but it makes me think of the inchworm song: "Inchworm, inchworm, measuring the merigolds, do you ever stop to see how beautiful they are?" Ahn.: Meggy; | May 04, 2008 at 03:44 PM

Yay for Woolly Bears! We have tons of these in our woodpile. Although I wouldn't want one IN my house they are quite cute OUTside.: momof2kitties; | May 04, 2008 at 03:59 PM

Go, blobule! Go! We used to have these all the time on the farm where I grew up. We played with them ever so gently.: AlbertaGirl; | May 04, 2008 at 04:04 PM

OH! That's where my false eyelashes dissappeared to!: Wombats; | May 04, 2008 at 04:12 PM

These little guys are all over my yard this time of year. We call it the invasion of the eyebrows. I pick them up all the time and they aren't stingy...super light and fuzzular!: Adri; | May 04, 2008 at 04:14 PM

do i see caterpillar 'tocks? entomologists of the world, unite!: jen; | May 04, 2008 at 05:16 PM

I got stung by a woollyworm one time - it hurt for days on end. :( but they are cuties: Ermine_Violin; | May 04, 2008 at 05:27 PM

Aww, I haven't thought about woolly bear caterpillars in ages! Thanks, CO.: Alexis; | May 04, 2008 at 05:31 PM

I'd still squish it.: Lucy; | May 04, 2008 at 05:38 PM

I love wooly bears. I live out west and have not seen one in years I guess maybe they don't live in California But In Michigan they would be all over the sidewalks and trees in spring and summer. I never got stung by one but that doesn't mean they don't sting.: Annie; | May 04, 2008 at 05:58 PM

So do other states have massively attended Woolly Bear festivals or is it just us crazy Ohioans?: Emily; | May 04, 2008 at 06:01 PM

Woolly Bear may be the official designation, but as far as I'm concerned, the campaign to rename it the Prosh Blob starts here. Who is with me?: Loris; | May 04, 2008 at 06:06 PM

Yaaaaay!: atomicthumbs; | May 04, 2008 at 06:29 PM

I took this video at the Asilomar Conference Grounds in Pacific Grove. This guy was crawling across the boardwalk; they were all over.: atomicthumbs; | May 04, 2008 at 06:30 PM

Prosh Blob works for me. How about a Prosh Blob tee? Does he do endorsements?: Totalee Puppy; | May 04, 2008 at 07:05 PM

Aw, around here it's all Eastern Tent caterpillars -- very classic-looking and all, but not really cute.: David Harmon; | May 04, 2008 at 07:07 PM

In Ohio, we call these Wooly Bears.: Stacy; | May 04, 2008 at 07:20 PM

Cue bass line... "Well you can tell by the way I use my fuzz, I'm a wooly worm, No time to talk. Whether you're a grubber or whether you're a fuzzer you're Stayin' alive... Stayin' alive... Pretty soon you're shakin And crazy undulatin' and you're stayin' alive... Stayin' alive... Ah-ah-ah-ah, Stayin' aliiiiivveeeee.....: Jason Scott; | May 04, 2008 at 07:28 PM

Oh, uh, that was me....not sure how my real name got in there.... :: still groovin' ::: berthaservant; | May 04, 2008 at 07:30 PM

Does anyone recognize the bird call in the background? I heard those all the time growing up but have no idea what kind of bird it is. A jay of some sort perhaps?: nads; | May 04, 2008 at 07:53 PM

Oh, why did somebody have to bring the birdcall (chickadee?) into it?? Now all I'm thinking is how funny it would be if that kestral from a coupla weeks ago would swoop down and have a snack! bad lanie! bad! When I was very young - 3 or 4 - my dad and I would go on walks out in the country. Around Mother's day (now!) these would always be easy to find. I would stuff my jacket pockets full of them with my sweaty little preschool hands. . .. offer them up to my mom at home. They were nekked by that time! Whenever one was fortunate enough to be found in our actual yard, I treated him to a ride on my trike. We moved to town when I was 4 1/2 and I had to resort to fishing worms I found under turned-up rocks. Already nekked, but I'm sure they enjoyed the trike rides just as much!: Lanie; | May 04, 2008 at 08:29 PM

I agree with you the phrase "cute as a bug" comes to mind.: Rachel Sweeden; | May 04, 2008 at 09:15 PM

I used to collect woolly worms in a jar and load the jar up with fresh grass and twigs hoping to make pets out of them. They always died :( My sister will swerve her car to keep from running over one of them on the road!: Martha in Washington; | May 04, 2008 at 09:59 PM

I heard these are poisonous. Be careful!: Laura; | May 04, 2008 at 10:59 PM

HEY! Someone's eyebrow escaped!: Subhangi; | May 04, 2008 at 11:34 PM

Iz tryin to get aways from dis papparatzis!: Kimski; | May 04, 2008 at 11:57 PM

No need to turn into a butterfly, she's already beautiful!: taj; | May 05, 2008 at 01:23 AM

I used to love these as a kid. Don't forget the ones with red band color with the black color: http://www.richard-seaman.com/Wallpaper/Nature/Caterpillars/WoolyBear.jpg: Ant; | May 05, 2008 at 02:27 AM
