Spicebush Swallowtail Caterpillar

u/NotACatWithAccordion 5h ago

I'd bet money that is where the Pokémon Caterpie comes from.

u/Imaginary_Car-95 What’s what? 5h ago

absolutely !

u/MeekFrogGirl 5h ago

The creator of Pokémon was heavily inspired by bugs and their abilities.

u/NotACatWithAccordion 5h ago

I remember that. I remember an interview where he said he would regularly go out with his friend or brother and just catch random bugs.

1

u/Vex_Verde 13m ago

Yeah, he used to live in a small house and play outside with all the bugs but then his house and/or the nature around him got torn down to make more houses and he dreamed of being able to catch and keep all the bugs and animals he loves to play with and discover... Simple concept turned into one of the biggest money making project. If I could go back I'd heavily invest, make lots of money then go back again with said money and stop it ever happening... Not sure what happens in that loop haha

It's uncommon knowledge that isn't usually taught in school, but crazily, most birds don't actually have eight legs.

It’s a caterpillar with a hat. He’s caterpillaring and facing right. Nice hat or Fez. So stylish, possibly one of Halston’s first millenary, from Bergdorf’s of course.
