This guy, and his thousands of little buddies all over the !@#$ing roads. I mean seriously, the sheer amount of guts I had to clean off my ride this weekend...

This caterpiller also have hairs and glands attached to the hairs the can cause terrible alergies. Even the the exuvia (exoskeleton that juvenile insects replace in order to grow, becoming a dead tissue) can cause terrible allergies

That's gross. Does this happen every year?

They always come out this time of year, but I don't remember them being this numerous. I shouldn't complain too much though, because this is nothing compared to the seven year cicada up in DC/Maryland, though. That was like riding through a popcorn popper at times... ugh.

I hit worms, never caterpillars...

I'm pretty sure that's a gypsy moth caterpillar. They all must die.
