Original post of caterpi llar thing looks ok. Harmless, would blend in well with moss.

Your post of (large) alien-worm-thing needs to be killed with fire. Twice.

I thought so too. Those little fluffy green patches are venom filled spikes.

Don’t forget they click, snap, and and act aggressive when you find them..

Best gardening video ever on how to deal with them is a guy walking around with scissors cutting them in half..

To be fair, lots of things will jump your ass if you poke them with a stick enough.

Neat. Don’t touch!

The most interesting caterpillar I’ve seen is a cecropia moth caterpillar.

I didn’t believe it was a real thing when I saw it as a young teenager. I haven’t seen one since then; however, I was lucky enough to hold an adult in my hand just this year !
