They can deter things that want to eat caterpillars because a lot of times these things carry little irritants and toxins.

And you just put a pin in that for our very final segment at the end.

But like you said, yeah, you can get it.

You know, little irritated bumps sometimes if you handle the wrong caterpillar.

Oh, yeah.

You shouldn't handle a caterpillar.

I remember there was one kind, and someone will know what kind this is, but I think it was sort of yellow and black.

And we would, you know, put our fingy on the ground and the caterpillar would crawl up our hand.

And then we would like get a leaf and have it crawl off.

So I don't think we harmed the caterpillar.

We were just letting it kind of crawl on us for a minute.

And I wasn't touching the spine, so I never got that irritation.

But I used to love doing that.

And I just thought that was so cool that they, I guess now knowing that they're blind, they're just like crawling on a stick.

And it's like, now I'm crawling on a finger.

Right.

But yeah, you wouldn't stick like kid fingers.

Yeah.

Yeah, I get the feeling the caterpillar is even like, sorry, man, and, you know, shouldn't touch me, but sorry.

It is horrifying.
