    Weird caterpillar
    Years ago, when I was gardening with my grandma, I found a caterpillar that was 8 cm long, had a nose/snout that extended and retracted, had two yin yang symbols on top of its head and two rather large (in proportion to its body) front claws. (not sure if it had more, I can't remember) I kept it in a box and called it 'Badger' so I could take it to school the next day and it was scratching the bottom of the box so loud it woke me up in the night. I never got to ask my teacher what it was and I just remembered it now; does anyone know what kind of caterpillar it was? If it was a caterpillar at all :confused:

    Yes, and what were you smoking at the time and what are you smoking now?

    I don't smoke. Though I can see why you'd think so. My granda took a photo of it, it's in my room somewhere...
