Imagine how skinny this fuzzy white caterpillar would appear if its fur were “groomed,” like some of the dogs in my neighborhood. There is one fuzzy white dog, in particular, that looks huge, which I think is a Great Pyrenees. I was shocked one day when I saw that dog with closely cropped fur—it looked to be only half of its normal size.
For some reason, this caterpillar’s hair seems to be more tufted than usual, compared to similar caterpillars that I have seen. Maybe the hair is bunched because of the heavy dew or the way that the caterpillar slept. Clearly the caterpillar is having a bad hair day.
Do you think it could get away with wearing a hat to cover the bad hair?

LOL 😀 I’d like to see a groomed caterpillar!
A styling brush and a blow dryer would do wonders for the caterpillar’s appearance. Of course, with a little gel, it could probably sport a faux hawk look.
LOL! 😀 Would be a nice improvement, in his current condition he kind of looks like the “between-the-teeth” brush my dentist gave me.
He worked so hard on that look and you call it a bad hair day:)
Take away all the hair and he’s nothing but skin and bones.
Looks completely inedible — it’s nothing but hair.
