So this guy made lead shoes with 3 toes that made people think that there was a 15 foot tall penguin that walked around the beach at night. 

Modern day trolls need up their game.

I've been finding a few caterpillars in the yard lately. I recently found a huge green caterpillar with black stripes and what looked like an orange horn of some kind, and I took some pictures. And I found a smaller one of the same kind just today as I was watering the flowers.

It got me thinking, I should look up these caterpillars. It would be interesting to know what they are and what butterflies they turn into. So, I found this guide. Thought it was neat!

For what it's worth, the headline is a little over the top. But it was interesting to me nonetheless
