Creepy bug...just in time for Halloween

This is actually really creepy and cool as hell!!!

Creepy As Hell: Caterpill...n Its Head

This is Phylllodes Imperialis, the Imperial Fruit Sucking Moth, in its caterpillar form. It has a giant skull and eyeballs on its head to scare away predators. It worked on me and I'm not even a predator. There are some much better shots after the jump courtesy of planet.nerd's Flickr, which show one's skull-face from all angles. Because we need that. If I had to see it, so do you -- that's how this works.

from GEEKOLOGIE

Can you imagine THAT thing landing on your shoulder? shake

I can imagine that when Predator (alien) babies go to bed, they snuggle with a stuffed animal that looks like THAT.

That's awesome.

It doesn't look like a skull to me; it looks more like a spider.

i'm not sure why i'm liking it, but there's something oddly appealing about the way it wraps it's little feet around the twig there.... shrug

all creatures are cool in their own way, but that one looks a bit sharp and maybe bitey about the edges to me eek
