nigel gordon eustace.

 

okay, we couldn't seem to find a name for my fat pet caterpillar.

he looks just like the guy in this picture, but since we've been feeding him, he grows longer and even fatter. yuck.

he's completely fat, ugly and disgusting yet i can't seem to get over him. and the fact that my whole family is quite enthusiastic abt him too. haha.

he's abt as close as a pet as we'd ever have. he does not however, take bulbul's place. never.

but it's kind of the same story.

he chose our garden.
only this time we kept him in my ex-murukku jar because he eats like a machine and poops like one too.

he's also ugly and fat and when he moves it freaks you out cause all his flesh wriggles up and down. and that yellow pimple like thing on his butt. and the two pigments on his body that look like eyes.

hahaha. but i'm very attached to him already. and one day, he'll leave me, and i'll be kind off upset again, like when bulbul did.

now, if nigel gordon eustace would turn into a butterfly, i'd be more insistent on keeping him. but as i'd just found out, he's a larvae of a hawk moth. yuck.

and the only reason i'd keep him till he turns into a moth (assuming he doesn't die in captivity) is to kill him, and pin him to Styrofoam for my biology practical.

sad.
