I saw something unusual on the floor — bright green, tiny, with little “horns,” completely still at first. 🤔
As I leaned closer, it twitched… then crawled, dark spines sticking out like a warning: “Don’t touch me.” 😲
It was a saddleback caterpillar, and its venom can cause pain, swelling, blisters, and even dizziness if touched. I was lucky — I carefully scooped it into a jar and released it outside. 😱
Lesson: always think twice before touching strange creatures indoors.
