Creepy insect...

txusa03 · 08-22-2008, 09:46 PM

I found two caterpillars (one baby and one adult) living on an orange fruit tree. This thing has eyes and a red tongue. I am thinking about killing the orange fruit tree because I don't like having these creatures living in my back yard.

They look like pigeon shit.

GME92 · 08-22-2008, 09:56 PM

It's actually pretty awesome looking, I say you keep the little guy/girl and name it. Just make sure it's a unisex name. LOL

PaulBailey@ltbmw · 08-22-2008, 09:58 PM

Dude, shut up about Chris Bangle already. Geez, you don't have to put something about him in every single post of yours. Leave it to that Bangle thread.

That is a crazy looking forked tongue

with a forked tongue.

Here you can see the creature claws and bulge head. Sorry for the out of focus pic.

Why not just call an exterminator? No need to down the tree, but I agree... those are some creepy looking motherfuckers... ugghh...

jimmy330xi · 08-22-2008, 11:33 PM

Seriously, you need to kill those little critters if you want your orange tree to grow. They eat the leaves and eventually kill the tree.

Giant Swallowtail

I would find a can of keyboard cleaner, turn it upside down, and slowly spray it, dripping that liquified frozen air on him. Just do it slowly then let him thaw out a little and get him again. Hopefully he won't shoot things at you. Then when you get bored, blast him with it.

Thank BK, I figure someone might have some info on insect. In a way I feel bad and good. Bad that I just killed a giant snowtail (lol I mean Swallowtail) and good that it is not some mysterious species living in my back yard. The Orange leaves do have a citrus smell to it which might attract this species.

iatacs19 · 08-24-2008, 08:52 AM

Wow, that's a pretty cool looking insect. Is the tree infested?

That red tongue is a defensive reaction according to wiki post:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_swallowtail#Images

Quote:

The caterpillar has two effective adaptations for defense against birds. The first is a reddish osmeterium that is extended when the insect is provoked, releasing foul-smelling pheromones thought to deter birds. The larva are also camouflaged to resemble bird droppings.
