Madison's Freaky Caterpillar


On the pretty side of things, this is my first poppy bloom! Have been watching them slowly growing from seeds for months.






On the freaky side of things, Madison brought this caterpillar into the house and was playing with it. Needless to say I took it away (though honestly more out of concern for what would happen to a cat if it were to eat such a neon multicoloured worm).











So I left it atop a pillar by the braai area and it must have been alright as it disappeared shortly after.






The next day I was watering the lawn beside the pool when this spider caught my eye. Turns out it's a young female black button spider. Good job I tossed her over the hedge before Madison could check things out - fatal toy for a cat.






I doubt a person would be easily bitten - she really was more interested in running away from me than being photographed.
